    Validation Services, Part 2

    Validation Services: The Process All Panasonic Healthcare products are calibrated and factory tested prior to shipment. Most pharmaceutical and biotech processes, however, require that their protocols be performed with equipment or instrumentation that has been validated to an additional set of standards, either internally or externally sanctioned. Kevin Loomis, Validation Manager, discusses what happens when a customer orders validation services. Here, he uses the Panasonic Healthcare VIP ECO ultra-low temperature freezer as an example.
