Laboratory equipment maintenance experience

The precision and sensitivity of the laboratory's instruments are high, and they are often used regularly. They require regular maintenance to ensure that they are in a state of complete use and that failures occur as little as possible. Once the instrument fails, it will definitely affect the work and it will also be a stress to the operator.
Carefully reading the instructions is the premise of the maintenance of the instrument. The new instrument requires us to become familiar with it. After all, the development of the instrument is changing with each passing day. Even if we have contacted the instrument before, there are many functions that have been optimized or improved. The methods used in different models must change. , careful study of the instructions is a very important and basic point, to ensure that you do not make big mistakes in the maintenance process. A few days ago the laboratory's ultrapure water device had a malfunction and the system was turned on. This instrument is usually very stable and has good performance. Generally, it takes 1-3 months to clean the filter device. At the beginning we thought it was a bad line contact, or The pipeline was blocked. After inspection, it was found that a water inlet pipe was clogged. After the vacuum pump turned on, it was still an alarm. Finally, we thought of flipping through the instructions. It was clearly stated in the manual that the reason for this type of fault was that the filter device was blocked and the pipeline was blocked. Blocked, resulting in insufficient water pressure. We then washed the filter device again, plus the inlet pipe had been opened, and the instrument finally began to function normally. The importance of study instructions can be seen.
Operate the instrument strictly in accordance with the operating procedures. It seems to be the use of the instrument rather than the maintenance. However, if we are free to operate the instrument, it will be very harmful to these “squeegee” instruments to facilitate the saving of a certain step. We usually develop a good habit of handling affairs according to regulations, which is itself the best maintenance and maintenance of the instrument.
Record the maintenance situation in time and summarize the experience and lessons of maintenance. Good brain is worse than a bad one. We must record the solutions to the problems that have already been solved. Uncertain questions and factory engineers asked for learning, and they also recorded in a timely manner. After a long time, your own maintenance experience has greatly increased and you will be able to use your instruments with ease.
The maintenance of the instrument is a combination of weight and detail. We must dare to solve the problem by ourselves. However, we must take care to solve the problem. We must not solve the problem. We must not blindly disassemble and install it. It is better to perform it under the guidance of the factory engineer. Damage to the instrument.
In short, the maintenance of the instrument must be carefully.
