Analytical Laboratory Instruments

The most common types of analytical laboratory instruments are refractometer, spectrophotometer, electrochemical instrument, calorimeter, automatic density meter, conductivity meter, colony counter, automatic titrators, fiberscopes, demagnetizers, and many others.

In addition, instruments like blood chemistry analyzer/blood analyzers, liquid chromatography (HPLC), chromatography columns, gas chromatography equipment, electrochemistry instrument, elemental analysis and elemental analyzers, electrophoresis analysis and electron spin resonance spectrometer are also widely used because of their accuracy.

Analytical laboratory instruments are used in a variety of fields, given their cross-discipline compatibility to analyze samples. They are not only used in the laboratories, but also on the field. They include, but are not limited to: analytical chemistry, clinical analysis, environmental testing, food & beverage analysis, forensic analysis, life science research, materials characterization and research, petrochemical testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and more.

Because analytical laboratory instruments vary in available analysis, it is important to identify the goal for the purchase in terms of expected results from a lab analysis. Once you have identified the appropriate type of instrument for your analytical needs, look for instruments that give: accuracy, sensitivity, resolution, signal/noise, bench-top dimensions, portability, and multi-parameter testing capabilities, etc.

The primary advantages of integrating analytical instruments with computer scripting include but are not limited to: increased operational efficiency and productivity, better data quality and integrity, improved innovation, conduct a site survey for instruments, prioritize which instruments are worth integrating, and interface critical path instruments first.
