The level of the laboratory not only depends on the configuration of instruments and equipment and the professional quality of personnel, but also depends on the level of management of instruments and equipment. Scientific management methods and good equipment daily maintenance can ensure the normal operation of the instrument, and properly extend the service life of the equipment, but also to stabilize the success rate of the experiment, avoid errors and failures. So what do laboratory equipment management need to pay attention to?

I. Laboratory instrument and equipment planning management

The development of the use plan of the instrument should be combined with the work task, the technical level of the user, the installation capacity and conditions and funds.

The purchase of instruments and equipment should be based on the actual situation, in line with the principle of use and economy, the selection of instruments and equipment with good quality, stable performance and can meet the work requirements.

The planning of expensive equipment should be strengthened. Specific users should specifically understand the instrument model, performance and quality indicators, weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different brands of instruments and practical value, and then write internal purchase orders according to the regulations.

The purchase plan of instruments and equipment can be implemented only after it is submitted to the competent leader for approval according to the authority of examination and approval.

The essence of instrument and equipment management is how to maximize its social and economic benefits under the existing conditions. Only by developing a management system for everyone can we do a good job in the management of instruments and equipment.

2. Installation, commissioning and acceptance of laboratory instruments and equipment

The installation, commissioning and acceptance of instruments and equipment have the characteristics of time urgency and technical complexity.

1. Organization preparation

The establishment of an acceptance team is the first step in organizational preparation. The acceptance team shall mainly be composed of the main users of the laboratory, the technical responsible personnel, the equipment management personnel, the file management personnel, etc., when the members of the acceptance team clearly grasp the requirements of their respective responsibilities, the acceptance can be carried out.

2. Condition preparation

Understand the performance principle, technical parameters, operating procedures, system composition, key components and other aspects of the instrument in advance. Ensure that the laboratory meets the working environment requirements of the instruments and equipment (temperature, humidity, spatial location), and implement the hardware supporting facilities (whether the power supply and water supply are normal, whether the thermometer is needed, whether there are other supporting facilities, etc.).

When all the supporting facilities of the laboratory hardware and software are in place according to the requirements, and the required standard samples, reagents, consumables, etc., are ready, you can make an appointment with the supplier or the after-sales technical personnel for on-site acceptance.

3. Site acceptance

After the arrival of the instrument, it is recommended to promptly install and accept the instrument. During the on-site acceptance, the instrument installation, use, and maintenance training should be conducted. The responsible personnel should master the technical specifications, operation methods, and precautions for use and maintenance. If problems are found, they can be dealt with in time.

4. Registration process

After the acceptance of the instrument and equipment, according to the relevant management system, it is necessary to fill in the registration form, and all the relevant operation instructions, warranty, accessories, etc., are handed over to the special person for safekeeping.

Note: The equipment should be moved early and run more during the warranty period in order to find the problem in time and deal with it as soon as possible.

3. Use management of laboratory instruments and equipment

1. Establish the general ledger of instruments and equipment.

2, measurement and testing equipment should be designated to manage, develop operating procedures, there should be use, spot inspection, verification, maintenance records.

3. File contents of valuable precision instruments and measurement and testing instruments:

(1) Instrument and equipment information: certificate, product sample, packing list, application and maintenance instructions, circuit diagram and other relevant information.

(2) Use management data: operating procedures and maintenance regulations, use and maintenance records.

4, equipment files, accounts should be kept by a special person, custodian changes to carefully handle the transfer procedures, shall not be lost.

5, should regularly check the use of instruments and equipment, problems in time to solve.

6, before use, you need to understand the last use, instrument and equipment verification or calibration data, and external equipment (including water, point, gas) is intact. Report and deal with problems in time to avoid damage to equipment.

7, adhere to the instrument use record system, not only can fully grasp the use of the instrument, performance status and change history, but also facilitate the actual dynamic evaluation of the instrument.

The main contents of the instrument usage record are: startup date, shutdown date, working hours, operating status (including power failure, water interruption and abnormal working conditions), operation inspection, period verification, maintenance, work content, etc.

Fourth, laboratory equipment maintenance

1, the maintenance of equipment should be based on prevention, do a good job of daily maintenance work. Can also establish the "equipment maintenance system"

Daily maintenance tasks:

(1) Make dustproof cover and keep the equipment clean;

(2) After the completion of the daily work, the easy contamination points of the equipment should be cleaned;

(3) Regularly clean the appearance and detachable parts of instruments and equipment;

(4) The moisture-proof part of the instrument and equipment should be placed with desiccant and replaced frequently.

Equipment maintenance tasks:

(1) Regularly check the instrument and equipment and carry out general maintenance according to the instructions. If necessary, contact the supplier or the manufacturer's after-sales engineer for regular maintenance.

(2) According to the requirements of the laboratory, prepare the purchase plan of maintenance spare parts and spare parts.

(3) Regularly check the safe use of instruments and equipment (including startup, shutdown, operation inspection and period verification).
