Maintaining control of a computerized laboratory system is an on-going activity.  A comprehensive system validation approach must include consideration for protecting and maintaining the system's validated state throughout its operational lifecycle.  In order to maintain regulatory compliance for your computer systems, all Waters software can be deployed with routine Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) services utilizing the same tools used during our internal testing, and leveraging the automated tests we develop for our product release.
