Installation Qualification Protocol for Zeta Potential Analyzer
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to establish confidence that the Zeta Potential Analyzer is installed correctly, operates as intended, and meets the specified requirements for surface charge measurement.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Zeta Potential Analyzer located in the QC/R&D area and is intended for use in measuring surface charge for critical product impact.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ documentation.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring the equipment is maintained as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Prerequisites
- Review of User Requirement Specification (URS) Annex 11.
- Completion of equipment installation and initial setup.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the Zeta Potential Analyzer.
Equipment Description
The Zeta Potential Analyzer is an instrument used to measure the surface charge of particles in suspension. It is critical for analyzing the quality attributes of drug delivery systems.
