Tip #7:  Why Validation Systems Alone Don’t Solve Your Analyzer Problems

Validation systems are an integral part of an analyzer’s data quality system.  If designed and utilized properly they will bring to light analyzer failures and data quality issues before those failures can cause serious impact to your business.  But it’s important to realize that validation systems only detect analyzer problems.  They do not fix analyzer problems.  A validation system is pointless unless those failure detections are acted upon in a timely manner.  The failures must be investigated and repaired quickly to minimize impact to your business.   

Unfortunately, figuring out the underlying cause of a process GC’s failure is usually the most difficult part.  Process GC systems can be tremendously complex with numerous possible failure modes.  Even just narrowing down whether the failure is in the sample system, the analyzer itself, the communications system, or elsewhere, can be a daunting, time-consuming task – with your business losing money by the hour as the clock ticks away.
