At Scientificolab, our Operation Qualification service confirms that your instruments perform consistently and reliably under normal and challenge conditions—fully tested, documented, and ready for routine use.

Once IQ is complete, the next phase is OQ, which confirms that your equipment operates correctly under its normal process settings. Typically performed as part of your scheduled quality‑assurance checks, OQ tests critical functions—such as temperature control, pressure regulation, and timing mechanisms—to catch any issues before you start production.

Key OQ activities include:

• Normal‑Condition Testing: Verify system performance under standard operating parameters.
• Reliability Assessment: Confirm the equipment delivers consistent, reproducible results.
• Worst‑Case Challenges: Push the system to its defined extremes (e.g., highest flow or temperature) to establish safe operational limits.
• Acceptance Verification: Ensure all measured values fall within predefined criteria.

This structured stage follows a detailed OQ protocol, uses a step‑by‑step test checklist, and ends with a comprehensive OQ report. It also defines the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for routine use and maintenance—making sure your equipment stays within its qualified operating window throughout its lifecycle.
