Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Validation Services for Laboratory Equipment

MILFORD, Mass. November 10, 2008 - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced validation services for Thermo Scientific laboratory equipment. The program provides validation services for a wide range of products including, but not limited to, ultra-low temperature freezers, refrigerators, incubators/environmental chambers, centrifuges, and biological safety cabinets. This program offers a complete portfolio of factory-developed protocols, field validation and annual re-qualification services for users with laboratory equipment in cGxP environments. Validation is crucial to those working in GLP/GMP regulated environments and industries that are required to qualify laboratory equipment in accordance to FDA guidelines.

The Thermo Scientific validation program offers the convenience of purchasing equipment and Installation, Operation and Performance Qualification (IQ, OQ, PQ) simultaneously. This speeds equipment commissioning by allowing customers to review protocols and schedule validation before their equipment arrives. This ensures customers are up-and-running and productive shortly after their equipment arrives. Included in the validation package are all protocols, supporting documents, critical pass/fail analysis and certificates of training required for compliance in cGxP environments. All validations are conducted by factory-trained personnel with extensive product knowledge and technical expertise.
