Questions answered in these manuals
How long does the entire OQ/PV procedure typically take to complete?
The entire procedure can generally be completed in one day to minimize downtime.
From: Agilent 6890 Series GC Operational Qualification/Performance Verification Guide
What software is required on the PC to configure and print the verification protocol?
Microsoft Word 97 must be installed on the PC to configure and print the protocol.
From: Agilent 6890 Series GC Operational Qualification/Performance Verification Guide
Which GC systems support Retention Time Locking?
The software works with any Agilent 6890 Series or 6850 gas chromatograph (GC) system equipped with electronic pneumatics control.
What is the recommended carrier gas linear velocity for USP 467?
The USP 467 protocol suggests that carrier gas linear velocity should be about 35 cm/s.
What is the minimum purity required for GC carrier gas?
The carrier gas must be at least 99.999% helium to prevent impurities from damaging the column.
