Laboratory equipment needs to be in peak condition if you want best performance and or results. Avoiding unknows and contamination ensure most accurate performance and reliable results in a lab.
House keeping remains the biggest problem in a lab. The exteriors of your equipment should be wiped down daily and a full clean should be done once a week. Cleaning will also help to maintain the safety of the laboratory environment; restoring the laboratory after accidental spills and to prevent contamination of on-going experiments.
Regular calibration of equipment is vitally important; if calibrations are not done when required, you may find your results may be questionable due to lack of accuracy or consistency.
There are various services available for calibration which could range from basic preventative maintenance to advance accuracy.
Maintaining Laboratory equipment if vital it prolongs the lifespan of the equipment and ensures optimum performance. In some cases, laboratory equipment requires replacement but other times, especially larger laboratory equipment, you can simply replace parts or perform other repair work.
In spite of proper maintenance (servicing/repairs/calibrations), equipment will eventually reach the end of its workable life. When the time comes, it is advised to purchase quality equipment from reputable manufacturers which ensures durability, accuracy and reliability.
