KNAUER Product Selection Guide 2021

Performance Verification (PV)
Definition: The document Performance Verification (PV) is part of the quality management system of
KNAUER. The Performance Verification includes a qualification test of an AZURA® LC system and must
be purchased from the manufacturer. The PV is a standardized KNAUER document and includes:
• Documentation on device specifications
• All necessary method parameters to perform the PV
Goals: The system runs reliably within the documented specifications and the PV is a summary of the
results with comments and evaluations.
Target group: The test can be carried out either by the technical support of KNAUER, from a provider
authorized by KNAUER or by the customer.

Material certification
Upon request customized material certification for all wetted parts with varying degrees of complexity
from manufacturer statement (only material) to full documentation (e.g. material certification 3.1, FDA
compliance statements).
Note: Retrospective material certification is not possible.
FAT / SAT
The factory acceptance test (FAT) refers to the
functional test that is performed upon completion
of the manufacturing process to prove
the equipment has the same specification and
functionality that indicated in the datasheet,
specification and purchase order. We are
experienced in establishing such test procedures
with you before your equipment is
shipped.
The acceptance of the equipment at your site
(site acceptance test, SAT) is also possible: A
technician comes to you and ensures that
everything works to your utmost satisfaction.
In addition, we can integrate the equipment
into the existing production environment, if
necessary.
Capillary labeling
Complex HPLC systems with a myriad of valves and variable flow paths can be somewhat confusing.
We offer professional capillary labeling upon request, to aid end-users in everyday use.
