Once the equipment has been transferred to RTP and other sites, Biomatic will be installing each system and, if necessary, repairing or providing PM, before calibrating and performing IQ, OQ, PQ validation on the systems. |
Biomatic will be relocating several hundred laboratory instruments and equipment to various sites for BASF, said Dr. Joseph Tehrani, president and CEO of Biomatic. We are pleased that Biomatic was chosen by BASF to provide relocation, service and validation, said Dr. Tehrani.
This latest contract continues Biomatic's services for BASF. Biomatic was the sole contractor providing Y2K services to BASF at its Princeton, NJ, facility. Biomatic also provided IQ, OQ, PQ instrument validation services to BASF at Princeton, including validation for HPLC, LC/MS, GC, GC/MS, Capillary Electrophoresis, Liquid Scintillation Counters, Spectrophotometers and various other laboratory instruments.
Current Biomatic personnel have been working with BASF scientists (formerly American Cyanamid) on various scientific projects including on-site seminars and hands-on workshops on supercritical fluid extraction and capillary electrophoresis for recovery and identification of herbicides and pesticides in soil and other matrices, and CE and HPLC method development.
