Centrifuge Maintenance: Protecting the Investment
Nov 02 2016
Any academic or professional undertaking is built on knowledge, and the equipment that allows experts to perform their duties is critical. In addition to training and expertise, the ability to obtain information and analyse materials is necessary to the work. In the life sciences, healthcare, and laboratory research, centrifuges are among the many types of required equipment. Highly precise devices can be costly, but also can have a useful lifespan of 10 years or more if properly maintained.
Centrifuges must be operated correctly and undergo regular maintenance in order to achieve maximum lifespan. Improper use can reduce lifespan, cause inefficient operation, and even create safety hazards.
Repeated operational errors and lack of maintenance over time can also increase expenses for an organisation or department due to repair costs and more frequent replacement. This budget impact can have secondary impacts on the careers of the managers responsible for the equipment.
