What Does Performance Qualification Mean for Infrared Instruments?
Performance qualification (PQ) tests are a vital component of the steps regulated laboratories do to maintain compliance. Therefore, it is essential to understand and apply meaningful PQ tests. However, what does PQ mean in practice for infrared (IR) instruments? The answer may surprise, or even horrify, you.
