1. Durable consumables, such as conical flasks and measuring cylinders, are generally used for a long time. If they are stored well, they can be used for a long time;
2. Such as pipette tips, absorbent cotton, rubber gloves for experiments, etc., the usage rate in the laboratory is very high, and the consumption is very fast.
In fact, both types of supplies are easy to manage. Generally, durable consumables should be placed on the experimental rack after cleaning and drying.
They can be placed in different categories for the convenience of experimentation. For example, the measuring cylinders are placed on the same shelf, the beakers are placed on another shelf, and each equipment is classified by capacity. For supplies that don't stand up easily, such as test tubes, centrifuge tubes, etc., find a clean, dry drawer.
notes:
Most of these devices are made of glass. Do not place them too close to prevent accidental breakage.
Consumables are a bit cumbersome. In our laboratory, similar to absorbent cotton, rubber gloves, masks, etc., one set is placed on each test bench for easy access at any time, and the rest are stored in the locker and used up on the test bench. Can be picked up later. Pipette tips and petri dishes will be divided into two types. The sterilized equipment will be placed next to the safety cabinet in the operating room of the cell according to different specifications. Unsterilized equipment will also be placed in another warehouse. in the cupboard.
When the sterilized tips are running out, you can replace them with new tips in time for sterilization.
Generally speaking, consumables for private use are easier to manage, while shared consumables are more difficult to manage.
The simpler method is to number the commonly used consumables and manage them by special personnel, and check them regularly so that the problems can be dealt with in a timely manner.
Finally, no matter what type of consumables it is, it is best to make a list, so that you can know more clearly what is in the laboratory, what is expired and needs to be replenished, and what is damaged needs to be purchased. schedule.
