Application of Equipment for Protein Quantification
The chosen solution allowed shortening the duration of the analysis from hours to several minutes. Using the automated samples entry tool, up to 32 samples can be analysed without interruption, and the software can be easily modified to provide the analysis results in a way the client prefers.
Application of Equipment for Protein Quantification
In order to increase the effectiveness of the research, the quality control laboratory needed a solution, which:
- would help reduce the duration of the analysis
- would be as automatized as possible
- would not require utilizing chemical reagents
- would have uncomplicated operation and maintenance
- would have data transfer and archiving software.
Application of Equipment for Protein Quantification
After analysing current protein quantification solutions in the market, a modified Duma method was chosen in combination with a Flash 4000 analyser by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Labochema representative installed the new equipment and carried out necessary training.
Installing the Locomotive Sanding System
The client had an old sand loading system: metal containers were hung high and filled with sand by compressed air. This process required constant personnel supervision and extensive manual labour. The loading process was manual, thus mistakes and accidents were unavoidable, there was sand dusting, enviromental pollution, and an increased risk to to the health and safety of the employees.
Installing the Locomotive Sanding System
LABOCHEMA offered a solution to replace the old system with a fully automated new one. It was designed and manufactured with the help of German manufacturers. Six sand loading stations were made. Their operation is similar to a gas station: the machinist places the sand pumps into the sandboxes, then the sand is automatically loaded to the required level, and after the process is completed, it switches off by itself.
Installing the Locomotive Sanding System
Additional personnel is not required, the expenditure is cut, trains’ idle time is decreased, accidents are avoided, the environment and the employee safety is looked after.
There is an operator’s room with the control panel next to the system. Any faults are immediatelly displayed on the screen. Signal lights indicate the ongoing loading process, the sand demand in the bunker, malfunctions, etc.
Long term equipment service agreement
The client organisation operates in chemistry industry. Their main product is nitrogen-phosphorus fertiliser, diammonium phosphate, which is obtained by neutralising the extracted phosphoric acid with ammonia. In order for the company to operate successfully, it is essential to immediately address any malfunctions in the lab machinery.
Long term equipment service agreement
There is a wide variety of equipment in the company’s laboratories, from simple dosing pumps to various analysers. The lab equipment is utilized in complex conditions. The equipment vibrations as well as chemical materials’ impact during any larger manufacturing process cause a more frequent than usual necessity for maintenance.
Long term equipment service agreement
The company was looking for a partner, which could provide the maintenance for their research equipment. They chose LABOCHEMA for ability to carry out various works on time and in high quality, including scheduled maintenance, precise repairs on mechanics, optics, synchronizing the machinery and more. Two organisations signed a service provider agreement, and LABOCHEMA became responsible for the fertilizer manufacturer’s equipment servicing. According to this agreement, the repairs take place either in the factory or in LABOCHEMA service centre.
Long term equipment service agreement
The manufacturer found a trustworthy and qualified partner, responsible for servicing, repairing and maintenance of their research equipment. This approach helped reduce the number of malfunctions, and any occurring faults are now addressed much faster. This enhances the efficiency of the laboratory.
Optimizing the process of purchasing reagents and laboratory consumables
Purchasing lab ware and reagents for scientific research goes on for few months, because the employees of the institution must submit the applications to the Public Tenders’ Service, which then organizes public tender surveys. This way, scientists are unable to obtain needed reagents and consumables in time. In some cases, important research cannot be carried out at all, and scientific competitiveness is lost.
Optimizing the process of purchasing reagents and laboratory consumables
In order to ensure a smooth supply of means of research, the science institution chose a modern method of purchasing. They announced a large public tender for several hundred thousand goods at once. LABOCHEMA made a bid and demonstrated a wide assortment of represented manufacturers. Having won the tender offer, LABOCHEMA signed a 3 year agreement to supply laboratory reagents and consumables.
Optimizing the process of purchasing reagents and laboratory consumables
The supply agreement ensures that the researchers can plan the experiments in an orderly manner, and perform them with speed and quality, therefore being able to spare much more time to execute scientific projects. The institution enhanced the competitiveness of its scientists, and today they are able to purchase the high quality goods they require for their research with no delay.
Renewal of Studies and Research Infrastructure
The science facility was established before the World War II, hence its buildings and infrastructure were out of date and not compliant with modern science requirements. To continue high quality research, it was essential to carry out the restoration of the buildings and to renew the scientific research inventory.
Renewal of Studies and Research Infrastructure
After carrying out the maintenance, new furniture in labs, auditoriums and offices was installed. LABOCHEMA supplied furniture of its own brand as well as made by partners in Spain. Both labs and offices were equipped with tables, cabinets, shelving units, chairs and other furniture.
Restoration Project: an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer
The system was not equiped with modern computer technologies for data recording, research automation and analysis. It was decided to modernise the existing system, however, the most complicated task was to match an almost 30 year old piece of equipment with current components and to ensure that the system operates efficiently after the modernisation has been completed.
Restoration Project: an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer
LABOCHEMA worked together with the manufacturer and carried out a project, which included the following adjustments:
- x-ray source and its power supply integration
- renewal of the closed cycle water cooling system for the x-ray source, including the cooling device
- replacing the elecronic block for electrons detection sensors, electrical signal transfer and signal recording
- installing a computer system with necessary software for system components’ management and data analysis
Restoration Project: an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer
After performing the modernisation, the equipment was fitted with a modern control panel, which comes with the newest devices of this type. The users of this equipment are now able to carry out their research much quicker and easier. Long duration experiments no longer pose any issues.
Supplying Furniture For The Healthcare Technology Centre
Before establishing the new Healthcare Technology Centre, Lithuanian pharmacists, scientists and students worked in different locations, which made their collaboration difficult. The infrastructure in the old laboratories was insufficiently developed, and the premises could not accommodate modern lab equipment.
Supplying Furniture For The Healthcare Technology Centre
A new Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Technologies Centre, 10,000 m2 in total size, was established. To equip it with fully functioning laboratories, Labochema manufactured and installed lab furniture in compliance with the EU requirements. Desks and fume hoods have integrated access sockets so that the equipment is convenient to operate. Air flow monitoring systems were installed in the fume hoods in order to create a safe working environment.
Supplying Furniture For The Healthcare Technology Centre
Labochema manufactured and installed 82 fume hoods, 270 lab desks, 750 various cabinets and shelving units, 860 lab chairs and various other furniture. Both the scientists and the students are now provided with all possibilities to study and perform scientific research in a safe and convenient environment.
Validation of Liquid Chromatography
Validation procedures must be performed in the professional environment, in presence of a certified engineer, representing the machine’s manufacturer, as well as an operator, and a quality control inspector. Therefore, a machine for such task cannot be sent to the manufacturer. Validation procedures stretch out in time, and, when one of them is not up to the standard, the remaining ones need to wait. Then, the maintenance of the machine must be carried out, necessary parts ordered, validation procedures repeated, and the company faces huge losses for idle time.
Validation of Liquid Chromatography
The company approached Labochema looking for qualified engineers and seeking to safeguard the validation process. Labochema engineers were trained and certified by the manufacturers, therefore, the maintenance works are performed well and the validation procedures are finalised effectively. Suspending the operation is avoided by manufacturer-recommended maintenance works, which are performed before the validation procedures begin. This includes oiling the friction-affected joints, repairing or replacing any worn out parts, calibrating the sensors etc.
Validation of Liquid Chromatography
A schedule for maintenance works together with a list for the required spare parts was instituted in order to ensure on-going operation. There is no more waiting until the replacement parts arrive. Since starting their cooperation with Labochema, the company has not once had to suspend their manufacturing process because of discrepancies of the machinery validation.
