On April 22, 2023, the laboratory of Jiangsu Ocean Food Quality Inspection Center installed a set of LW8558AD fully automatic bottle washing machine from Mote Weishan Company. The laboratory staff believed that the automated cleaning of glassware simplified the process and allowed them to free up time to perform other tasks, which would help improve the overall productivity of the laboratory.

The Jiangsu Provincial Marine Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center is positioned as a comprehensive marine food quality service institution that integrates domestic and international standards, including marine food testing services, scientific and technological services, technical research, industrial information, standard formulation and revision, and talent training services. Therefore, the testing task is very heavy. As for testing, the most basic and first thing to do is to clean laboratory glassware.

The specific method for detecting marine edible food depends on the harmful substances to be detected and the purpose. Usually, for the determination of the content of harmful substances that need to be detected (such as heavy metals, plasticizers, etc.), ionization mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are generally used. These devices have high detection accuracy and can reach PPM or PPB levels. At the same time, the detection efficiency is also greatly improved, and laboratory personnel need to operate an increasing number of high-precision and cutting-edge equipment, The complex and heavy sample pre-treatment wastes a large amount of effective time for experimental personnel.

The laboratory director of the center told us that the laboratory vessel cleaning machine has many advantages such as efficiency, high quality, safety, and energy conservation, which can effectively solve many pain points of traditional manual cleaning of vessels, improve the work efficiency and quality of laboratory personnel, and help the laboratory carry out scientific research work better.
