In regulated laboratories (typically GxP and ISO), compliance with government and international standards requires documented verification that systems are installed and functioning according to their operational specifications. This IQ⁄OQ (Installation Qualification⁄Operational Qualification) User-Performed Test Procedures package provides you with test procedures to qualify that your Countess® Automated Cell Counter is installed and operating to manufacturer’s specifications. Procedures should be performed during installation or before a previously-installed system will be used in a regulated test environment.

Package includes a bound, printed copy of test procedures. Directions for performing the test procedures can be found in the instrument user manual.

Note that the consumables listed below will need to be on hand or purchased along with the Countess® IQ⁄OQ user-performed test procedures.
