Operational/Performance Qualification
Your Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer was fully tested at BioTek prior to
shipment and should operate properly following the successful completion of the
installation and setup procedures described throughout this chapter.
If you suspect that problems occurred during shipment, if you received the reader back
from BioTek following service or repair, and/or if regulatory requirements dictate that
Operational/Performance Qualification is necessary, turn to Chapter 4, Instrument
Qualification now to learn about BioTek’s recommended OQ/PQ procedures for the
Epoch.
An Installation/Operational/Performance Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ)
package for the Epoch is available for purchase (PN 7200515). Contact
your local BioTek dealer for more information.
