PerkinElmer collaborate with regulatory compliance expert

PerkinElmer has announced a consultative collaboration with instrument qualification and computer systems validation (CSV) expert, Dr Robert McDowall. As an independent thought leader in the regulatory compliance arena, Dr McDowall is positioned to provide critical insights into industry trends and key developments to expand the company's OneSource laboratory services compliance solutions.

"The combination of Dr McDowall's experience in analytical instrument qualification (AIQ), knowledge of CSV, and his status as a trained auditor makes him an ideal partner," commented Dusty Tenney, president, Laboratory Services, PerkinElmer. "We believe that this collaboration augments and strengthens our internal expertise."

OneSource offers instrument qualification solutions and the company hopes that Dr McDowall's expertise reinforces this position through knowledge and methods that integrate changing regulatory requirements into its broad multi-vendor compliance solutions.

"I am excited by the opportunity to work with PerkinElmer," said Dr. Bob McDowall, principal of McDowall Consulting. "By combining our knowledge and strengths to focus and expand on the qualification and validation services offered by OneSource we hope to help customers minimize the costs of maintaining compliance while staying ahead of changing regulatory requirements."
