What is the difference between the new HSQ Kit and older PQ Kit ?

It is still certified but it is shorter and the run times are much shorter. The time to do the exact same qualification now only takes the time the PQ Kit did. The PQ Kit was very fast but our scientists have thoroughly tested the kit with new column and have completely validated all procedures. Also, the HSQ Kit has a different Resolution Test Mixture to better determine the system extra column volume for highly efficient instruments. This extra peak is not required but may be preferred. Another difference is the “Operating Instructions” or the “User Manual” is greatly consolidated for ease of use. We call it the Quick Start Instructions.
