Verification and Diagnosis Views

If supported by the configured instrument, for example, the Agilent 1100/1200
Series modules for LC, the ChemStation comprises two additional views to
perform instrument verification and diagnosis tasks. For more information,
see the online help system.
System Verification
System verification is a key component in the routine use of an analytical
instrument in a regulated laboratory. The GLP verification features of the
ChemStation are designed to help you to prove that the software, or a relevant
components of the software, are performing correctly, or were performing
correctly at the time of a particular analysis.
The ChemStation verification function enables you to verify the correct
operation of your ChemStation software. You can do this by reprocessing data
files according to specific methods, and comparing the results with a
pre-defined standard. The verification function is particularly important to
prove the integrity of the integration and quantification results.
You can use the standard verification test, or define your own tests using your
own method and data files to check the algorithmic software combinations
used by your analysis methods. The verification test is a protected file and
cannot be changed or deleted.
The Verification item in the Data Analysis view allows you to choose any of the
following options:
• run a verification test in the database,
• define a new verification test and add it to the database, and
• delete a verification test from the database.
The How To section of the online help system describes how to perform these
tasks. When running a ChemStation verification test, you can choose whether
to run the entire test, or select a combination of parts.
