Product Highlights

Comprehensive Qualification Services from Illumina

Illumina Operational Qualification (OQ) Services carry out numerous experiments for each system to ensure critical components are tested and validated, have cut-off metrics, and to confirm these metrics show the system is operating in accordance with specifications.

Our OQ service follows a comprehensive, well-defined protocol to verify the system functions according to pre-set and validated operational specifications. We update the OQ protocol following each instrument hardware and software release, ensuring your laboratory receives the most up-to-date service. Critical aspects of the OQ include motion qualification, optics qualification, fluidics qualification, and thermal qualification.

As regulatory guidelines continue to evolve and increase in stringency, laboratories need well-documented system qualification protocols for compliance. Performed by Illumina-trained and -certified engineers, OQ helps research and diagnostic genomic laboratories meet regulatory guidelines:

  • Provides an audit-ready signed OQ report
  • Verifies Illumina sequencers perform according to manufacturer specifications after major repairs, relocation, or system software upgrades
  • Helps establish instrument log files for change control
  • Provides engineer training and tool calibration certificates (upon customer request) 
Qualification Service Service Description Qualification Recommended Intervals Event-Specific Service
Installation Qualification (IQ) Provides documented verification that the instrument is installed according to our specifications and safety regulations. During the IQ, a trained engineer confirms that the latest supported firmware and software versions were installed, verifies instrument setup and accessory logistics, checks that physical and environmental safety conditions are met, and provides a signed, audit-ready, digital document.
  • During initial installation
  • After relocation and reinstallation
  • Before first-time use
  • After general changes to lab environment (eg, remodeling, construction, electrical disruptions)
Operational Qualification (OQ) Follows a comprehensive, well-defined protocol to make sure that the system is functioning according to our preset and validated operational specifications. The OQ protocol was developed and validated in Illumina labs and is updated after each instrument hardware and software release, so you receive the most up-to-date service. Critical aspects of the OQ include motion, optics, fluidics, and thermal qualifications
  • During initial installation
  • After a reactive service, software upgrade, or preventive maintenance
  • Periodically, according to lab standard operating procedure
  • With an IQ to test for baseline level of instrument performance
  • Before starting a major study or experiments
Performance Qualification (PQ) Follows a comprehensive, well-defined protocol to make sure that the instrument is functioning according to our preset and validated performance specifications. The PQ protocol was developed and validated in Illumina labs and is updated after each instrument hardware and software release, so you receive the most up-to-date service. Critical aspects of the PQ include a PhiX data run (including projected yield total), data quality, and any additional comments. After any qualified major repair After maintenance, replacement, or upgrade of selected modules
