An instrument validation module in WinLIMS software is the most comprehensive tool available for ensuring quality of analytical data provided by instruments connected to a LIMS.

According to QSI, the new Instrument Validation Module included in the latest WinLIMS software release is the most comprehensive tool currently available for ensuring the quality of analytical data provided by the instruments connected to a LIMS Most LIMS can indicate when events like instrument calibration or routine maintenance become due, perhaps based on instrument operating hours, but this system goes much further

Rather than treating each instrument as an entity, it can be defined as an assembly of components, each with its own criteria for triggering an event.

These criteria can be different for each component - they could be based on operating hours, the number of samples run, the result of a QC sample, or a physical parameter This is clearly more efficient, as it ensures that the instrument is only taken out of service when absolutely necessary.

For example, the lamp in an HPLC detector might need to be changed after a certain number of hours, whereas the column's performance could be dependent on the number of samples run.

Having initiated the appropriate action, the system can then create a test sample to validate the instrument's return to normal service.

Also included in this release are innovative new tools that handle installation, configuration and system testing without the need for supplier visits, and extensive training aids and user tutorials.

Even server software can be installed automatically, making this 'the first and only truly 'out-of-the-box' LIMS solution' according to QSI.
