When you receive a lab report printed with various data, have you ever wondered how these precise decimal numbers are derived from a small sample? Today, let us explore the 'core area' of the hospital—medical laboratories—and get to know the 'precision instrument team' that stands by 24 hours a day to safeguard our health!
The Beginning of Rigor:
Laboratory Pure Water Instrument
All rigor begins with purity. In the world of testing, the water we use daily contains too many 'impurities'. The laboratory ultrapure water system is like a strict 'alchemist', removing ions, microbes, and particles from the water through layers of filtration and purification, producing 'ultrapure water' that far exceeds drinking standards. It is the silent 'cornerstone' of the entire laboratory, ensuring that the starting point of all reagents and experiments is pure and flawless, free from interference.
Safety GuardianBiological
Safety Cabinet & Clean Workbench
With a pure 'source of water', sample processing must be carried out in an absolutely safe environment. The biosafety cabinet acts like a 'golden bell', perfectly isolating the operator from potential pathogens with a directed airflow curtain, thus protecting our inspectors and preventing samples from being contaminated by the outside world. The clean workbench also provides a spotless 'sterile operation table' for medical experiments. They are the 'chief safety officers' of this team and serve as the first line of defense for all scientifically accurate operations.
Ace Separation Division
High-speed centrifuge / High-speed refrigerated centrifuge
Whether it's blood, body fluids, or cell suspensions, the samples sent are often complex mixtures. To accurately analyze, it is essential to first "pull out" the target. The high-speed centrifuge / high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, the "ace separator," generates powerful centrifugal force at ultra-high speeds of thousands or even tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, quickly separating the components of different weights in the sample (such as cells, proteins, and precipitates). Completing this critical step allows for the accurate extraction of the parts that need to be tested.
Life Nurturer
Carbon Dioxide Incubator
Sometimes, the number of 'enemies' we need to look for (such as bacteria) is too small to detect. This is when the carbon dioxide incubator comes into play. It is a 'five-star life cultivation chamber' that can simulate the temperature, humidity, and gas environment of the human body, allowing trace amounts of microorganisms to grow and reproduce rapidly. Once they form a large 'family,' we can easily capture them all at once for identification and drug sensitivity testing.
Gene Detective
PCR Analysis System
Next, we have the core position of the 'heavenly group' - the PCR analyzer! It is a 'gene detective' with 'keen eyesight.' Whether it's the RNA of a virus or the DNA of bacteria, as long as there are tiny traces, the PCR machine can amplify it by billions of times, making the originally invisible 'enemy' unable to hide. The nucleic acid testing for the well-known new coronavirus relies heavily on its powerful assistance.
Life Time Capsule
Medical Low Temperature / Refrigerated Storage Box
What should we do with those precious samples that need to be re-examined or used for future research? Medical low-temperature/cold storage boxes are their 'time capsules.' At extreme low temperatures, ranging from tens of degrees below zero to over a hundred degrees below, the biological activity of the samples is 'frozen,' allowing them to be perfectly preserved for several years or even longer. This is the hospital's 'biological sample bank,' leaving behind valuable resources for future medical research and precision treatment.
The strongest brain of the team
BioLab laboratory management system
How can so many instruments cooperate efficiently and ensure zero errors? The answer is this invisible 'powerful brain': the BioLab Laboratory Management System. It is the 'commander-in-chief' of the entire team. From the moment the sample is labeled with a barcode, its reception, allocation, processing, verification, and report generation... every piece of information is accurately recorded and tracked by the system. The BioLab Laboratory Management System connects all medical laboratory instruments, ensuring automated data transmission and accurate results, serving as the central nervous system for the efficient and rigorous operation of the entire laboratory.That seemingly simple report in your hand is actually the result of the collaboration between this 'precision instrument team' and the laboratory technicians. Every number embodies the power of technology and a rigorous attitude. Let's give a thumbs up to these 'unsung heroes' who silently protect our health!
