What tasks will everyone carry out after a new analytical instrument is purchased and arrives at the factory? We do the following: 1. Maintain ledgers for fixed assets; 2. Create ledgers for instruments; 3. Read the instruction manuals; 4. Unpack, install, debug, and provide on-site training; 5. Develop operating procedures for the instruments based on the manuals; 6. Determine who will be the primary operator of each instrument based on the employees’ test results; 7. Utilize… We welcome everyone to share their experience so that we can all learn from it
Records of usage must be kept, and it is essential to identify the main operator
We are about to issue a tender for some instruments, such as gas and liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, ICP, etc. – it would be a good opportunity to learn about them
What the original poster said makes sense. We are the same.
First, open the package and inspect the goods to check that all parts are present; then proceed with installation and debugging (performed by the supplier’s technical support and after-sales team), followed by acceptance testing and training, before going through the other procedures mentioned above
1. First, open the package for inspection and check against the list； 2. Check the instrument instructions and the raw data sheet, then copy them for archiving ； 3. Initial calibration of the instrument, checking its built-in data. 4. Establish an instrument ledger and record the receipt process and initial data; in this way, the instrument will have its own identification document. 5. Debugging, installation, positioning, and commissioning for operational use. 6. Prepare a report on the commissioning of the instrument and notify the relevant parties. 7. Monitor the operation of the instrument, with a typical monitoring period of one year.
1. Unboxing and inspection 2. Establishment of a record book 3. Installation and calibration of the instrument 4. Training for operators 5. Preparation of corresponding operating procedures 6. Identification of the main person responsible for instrument maintenance
It is very important to keep a ledger for instrument operations!
What was said upstairs makes sense; in the end, it depends on whether the requirements for production can be met!
When learning*, detailed classification may also be necessary!
1. Contact the manufacturer’s engineer for installation and debugging. 2. Conduct on-site unpacking and inspection, checking against the list ； 3. Conduct on-site installation, commissioning, and training of the equipment. 5. Enter the inventory number later 6. Use
The main operator isn’t available in our laboratory, but it can be used by any analyst on duty. However, it is important to have designated maintenance analysts, and it is recommended to keep records of debugging (both at the beginning and thereafter), as well as of maintenance and repairs. Every instance of debugging, maintenance, and repair should be recorded to help identify the cause when problems arise in the future.
This is quite standard, and that’s basically how we proceed as well
1. First, open the package for inspection and check against the list； 2. Check the instrument instructions and the raw data sheet, then copy them for archiving ； 3. Initial calibration of the instrument, checking its built-in data. 4. Establish an instrument ledger and record the receipt process and initial data; in this way, the instrument will have its own identification document. 5. Debugging, installation, positioning, and commissioning for operational use. 6. Prepare a report on the commissioning of the instrument and notify the relevant parties. 7. During use, it is usually necessary to keep a clear record of usage.
In addition to the points mentioned earlier, maintenance records of regular use are also very important. It is also necessary to keep some consumables on hand for replacement
1. First, open the package for inspection and check against the list； (If manufacturer calibration is required, notify the manufacturer in advance; it is better to open the package together.) 0 2. Check the instrument instructions and the original data sheets, and copy them for archiving ； 3. Initial calibration of the instrument, checking its built-in data. 4. Installation and commissioning 4. Prepare a report on the instrument’s commissioning and notify the relevant parties. 6. Prepare an acceptance report. 7. Establish an instrument ledger and record the receipt process and initial data in it ；
I agree with what the original poster said. In our analysis room, the first two points are generally handled by the office secretary. The general procedure after the instrument arrives at the analysis laboratory is as follows: 1. The sales engineer of the instrument explains on-site the overall structure and performance of the instrument, highlighting its advantages. 2. The sales engineer of the instrument carries out installation and debugging, and ensures proper certification. 3. The sales engineers of the instruments provide training on their operation, daily maintenance, and troubleshooting, and offer some recommended methods based on the users’ application scenarios. 4. After the training, a summary is conducted to establish operating procedures and maintenance measures for the instruments. 5. Employees may carry out operations only after obtaining operational certification through an exam.
