In response to market trends, Jaytee have developed a series of procedures for laboratories that have a requirement for HPLC instrument qualification or performance qualification (PQ).
At Jaytee, we are aware of the vast array of different levels and criteria tested by PQ and have adopted a unique system to ensure that all labs can meet, with confidence, the criteria required by the various regulatory bodies.
HPLC qualification versus PQ
Jaytee have evolved a complete system of instrument HPLC & GC qualification. Our methods differ in some ways from our competitors and offer the customer a much more comprehensive service.
No more problems of deciding what to do if your instruments initially fails qualification:
Jaytee offer HPLC & GC qualification in preference to PQ. Our agreements ensure your instrument is compliant since we can repair and re-qualify your instruments if at first they fail the qualification process.

- Adaptation – Forming a set of procedures from the information gained from the consultation stage.
- Implementation – Using the unique combination of procudures to generate the required documentation and start the qualification process.
- Review – At regular intervals we review the qualification procedures with our customers to ensure that the methods are updated to the latest specifications.
