The Certification Process

Certifying pre-owned Agilent HPLC systems is a meticulous and comprehensive process designed to guarantee that the instruments are in optimal working condition. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

1. Acquisition and Inspection: Our journey begins with purchasing pre-owned Agilent HPLC systems. These systems are carefully selected based on their model, condition, and maintenance history. Each instrument undergoes a thorough initial inspection to identify any visible signs of wear or damage.
2. Decontamination and Cleaning: The acquired systems are then subjected to rigorous decontamination. Any residues, contaminants, or impurities are removed, ensuring the instrument is clean and safe.
3. Calibration and Testing: Precise calibration is crucial for accurate analytical results. Our certified technicians meticulously calibrate the HPLC system to meet Agilent’s specifications. Tests assess the system’s functionality, including flow rate accuracy, detector sensitivity, and pressure performance.
4. Replacement of Wear Parts: Any components showing signs of wear or nearing the end of their lifespan are replaced. This step ensures that the system operates reliably and consistently.
5. Software Validation: Agilent HPLC systems often rely on sophisticated software for data analysis and control. Our technicians validate the software to ensure it meets Agilent’s standards and performs flawlessly.
6. Documentation and Certification: A comprehensive certification report is generated detailing the inspection, maintenance, calibration, and testing processes. This report serves as a testament to the system’s quality and performance.
7. Warranty and Support: We offer a warranty on our certified pre-owned Agilent HPLC systems, providing customers with peace of mind. Our dedicated support team is always ready to assist with any technical questions or issues that may arise.
