GBA’s in-house facilities for Analyzers
Application Lab
A dedicated team of application specialists catering to customer requirements, applications setup calibration and testing, and Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT). GBA Analyzers are built to the highest standards using proven and robust hardware, based on the Agilent Technologies platforms. Before an analyzer leaves our dedicated Application Laboratory, each analyzer is qualified:
- Leak testing - The complete system is pressurized both in on and off position of the valves, including the sample loops present.
- Hardware control test - The system is checked for functioning of all hardware present. This includes checking heated zones, flow and pressure control modules, detectors and valves (if present).
- Analytical performance test - The analyzer is fully checked on its analytical capabilities. As standard, the instrument is tuned to achieve proper component separation and is calibrated on the components of interest. Any additional performance parameters can be tested on request, such as detection limit, repeatability, resolution etc.
The results of this factory test are documented and shipped with every instrument for future reference.
