SPECTROQUANT® ANALYTICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE (AQA)
Merck’s Spectroquant® system offers start-to-finish quality assurance for secure and reproducible analytical results. Spectroquant® products undergo rigorous in-house testing, complemented by user-required Analytical Quality Assurance (AQA) following good laboratory practices (GLP). We provide comprehensive IQ, OQ, and PQ documentation and offer a complete Spectroquant® AQA concept for internal quality control. Results are marked with “AQA” suffix for GLP compliance. We ensure correct installation (IQ), functional operation (OQ), and thorough performance verification (PQ). The EQA service further enhances result reliability. Additionally, password protection ensures adherence to AQA intervals, allowing refusal of measurements if quality control standards aren’t met.

Diluted Standard Solutions. No Dilution. No Doubts. No Delays. Just Precision.
- Covering all parameters for Internal Quality Control (IQC) in photometric analysis of wastewater, drinking water and process water.
- Both, single-parameter and CombiCheck standard solutions available meeting your application needs.
- Prediluted standard solutions are available in varying concentrations and therefore can be used directly without additional dilution steps.
- Traceable to standard reference materials (SRM) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or to United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
- Detailed certificates (COA) available, including batch-specific parameters, exact concentration, expanded measurement uncertainty, and more.
- Ideal for validating International Norm Methods: ISO, EN, APHA and EPA. Calculate your working tolerance to meet ISO 17025.
