By Angel Martin

Tough standards in chemical, food and flavors, forensics, and contract testing labs are a fact of life – especially if your work is subject to ISO 17025 or similar quality accreditation standards. But establishing a process that delivers relevant proof of system maintenance and calibration can put a strain on efficiency, productivity and your bottom line. That’s why Agilent developed the new Functional Verification Service that can help you conveniently maintain your system and assure the quality of test and calibration results.

Cost effective maintenance and proof of calibration

Agilent Functional Verification Service provides both maintenance and metrology testing of Agilent LC and GC systems in one comprehensive service, so you get the confirmation you need to prove the accuracy and calibration of critical system functions. This new service is backed by Agilent’s experience as an industry leader in the regulated pharmaceutical sector and by our expertise in compliance and quality testing services, an area where Agilent has consistently been ranked #1 since 1997. The Agilent Functional Verification Service is designed to give you documentation that confirms the accuracy and calibration of critical system functions, in as little as eight hours to save valuable time.
