Experts stress lab equipment maintenance awareness
Experts are talking about how important it is for researchers to know how to take care of lab equipment.
They say that if researchers understand how to maintain and fix small problems with the equipment, it can help them do better research.
The experts were speaking at a special training program at a university in TIRUPATI.
They explained that if expensive lab equipment breaks down and needs to be repaired, it can cause delays in research.
So, it's important for researchers to learn how to keep the equipment in good working condition.
This way, they can use the equipment effectively and fix minor issues when they come up.
Prof S Vijaya Bhaskara Rao emphasized the need for researchers to be aware of lab equipment maintenance to achieve better research outcomes.
Regular monitoring of laboratory instruments is crucial to prevent delays in research due to repairs.
Dr Nageswara Rao highlighted that understanding instruments thoroughly helps researchers use them effectively and address minor technical problems.
A week-long training programme on ‘Operation and maintenance of laboratory instruments’ began at Sri Venkateswara University (SVU).
The programme aims to equip researchers with basic knowledge of equipment maintenance and minor repairs.
