Laboratory supplies are broadly divided into two categories:
One: durable supplies
such as: conical flasks, measuring cylinders, generally longer service life, if the storage is good can be used for a longer period of time;
Two: loss of consumables
Such as. The pipette gun tip, degreasing cotton wool, laboratory rubber gloves, etc., in the laboratory of the use rate is very high, the rate of consumption is also very fast.
In fact, both types of consumables are easy to manage, and for durable consumables should generally be placed on the lab shelf after being cleaned and dried.
In order to facilitate the use of experiments, can be placed in categories, for example, measuring cylinders uniformly placed on the same shelf, the beaker is also uniformly placed on another shelf, and, each type of equipment in accordance with the capacity of the different sequential order. For consumables that do not easily stand, such as test tubes, centrifuge tubes, etc., a clean and dry drawer can be found.
Note:
Most of the equipment in this category is made of glass, so don't place it too close to the edge to prevent accidental breakage.
Wear and tear consumables are slightly more troublesome. In our laboratory, similar to the degreasing cotton, rubber gloves, masks, this kind of is a set of each experimental table will be put in order to access at any time, the rest will be boxed in the locker, the experimental table can be used up to pick up after the end of their own. Pipette gun tips and petri dishes will be divided into two types, sterilized equipment will be placed according to different specifications in the cell operating room and other safety cabinets next to the unsterilized is also placed in another locker.
When the sterilized tips are almost used up, you can get new ones in time for sterilization.
Generally speaking, private consumables are relatively easy to manage, and more difficult to manage is **** consumables.
Relatively simple method is to **** with a number of supplies, managed by a person, check regularly, so that problems can be dealt with in a timely manner.
Lastly, no matter what type of supplies, it is best to make a list, so that we can know more clearly what the laboratory in the end, what things need to be replenished soon after the end of the things, or what things need to be damaged to buy a new, not to be used only to find that there is no time to affect the progress of the experiment, to do the heart on the number of things can be.
