As a global leader in full-life-cycle services for used scientific instruments, Lab Revive Services has long been committed to providing professional, efficient and reliable laboratory solutions for scientific research institutions around the world. In recent years, the company has further expanded its layout in the Chinese market, establishing in-depth strategic cooperation with Shanghai Yinzhi Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yinzhi Sci-Tech”), a leading domestic laboratory service enterprise. This cooperation has not only promoted the localization of Lab Revive Services’ advanced technology and service concepts in China but also jointly undertaken a number of key laboratory relocation projects. Recently, Yinzhi Sci-Tech, as the exclusive Chinese partner of Lab Revive Services, officially participated in the relocation project of the Coal Mine Laboratory of Chongqing University, demonstrating the strong comprehensive strength of the cooperation between the two parties in the field of laboratory relocation and setting a benchmark for high-standard laboratory relocation in the coal scientific research field in China.
Chongqing University, as a key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education of China, has a long history and profound accumulation in the field of coal mine scientific research. Its Coal Mine Laboratory, affiliated to the State Key Laboratory of Coal Mine Disaster Dynamics and Control, covers an area of 6,840 square meters and is equipped with more than 200 sets of scientific research instruments worth over 120 million yuan, including more than 50 large-scale instruments and 20 independently developed devices. These instruments, including coal quality analysis equipment, disaster simulation devices and precision detection instruments, are the core foundation for the university to carry out research on coal mine safety, coal quality improvement and coal comprehensive utilization. With the continuous expansion of the university’s scientific research scale and the upgrading of research directions, the original laboratory space can no longer meet the needs of high-end scientific research and instrument operation. Therefore, the university launched a laboratory relocation project, aiming to move the entire coal mine laboratory to a new professional research building, ensuring the safe transfer of instruments and the seamless connection of scientific research work.
After strict screening and evaluation, Yinzhi Sci-Tech, relying on the technical support of Lab Revive Services and its own rich experience in laboratory relocation, successfully won the bid for the relocation project. As the Chinese partner of Lab Revive Services, Yinzhi Sci-Tech has long been engaged in the fields of precision instrument maintenance, laboratory relocation and equipment calibration, and has accumulated rich practical experience in serving domestic key universities and research institutions. The cooperation between Yinzhi Sci-Tech and Lab Revive Services has realized the complementary advantages of “international technology + local service”: Lab Revive Services provides professional technical guidance, standardized process support and global experience in laboratory relocation, while Yinzhi Sci-Tech is familiar with the domestic laboratory operation specifications, instrument use habits and the specific needs of Chinese scientific research institutions, ensuring the smooth progress of the relocation project.
The relocation of Chongqing University’s Coal Mine Laboratory is extremely complex and challenging. Unlike ordinary laboratory relocation, the coal mine laboratory involves a large number of precision instruments and special equipment, including carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen element analyzers, calorimeters, ash fusion determinators,哈德格罗夫可磨性指数测定仪 (HGI test apparatus) and other coal quality analysis equipment, as well as large-scale disaster simulation devices and high-pressure reaction equipment. These instruments have the characteristics of high precision, high value, complex structure and strong sensitivity to environmental changes. Once they are damaged or displaced during the relocation process, they will not only cause huge economic losses but also seriously affect the progress of the university’s scientific research projects. In addition, the laboratory also stores a large number of coal samples and research data, which need to be properly preserved and transferred to ensure the integrity and safety of the research results.
In response to the characteristics and difficulties of the project, Yinzhi Sci-Tech, under the technical guidance of Lab Revive Services, formulated a detailed and rigorous relocation plan, which covers four key stages: pre-relocation preparation, instrument disassembly and packaging, transportation and loading, and on-site installation and commissioning. In the pre-relocation preparation stage, the professional team of Yinzhi Sci-Tech, together with the technical personnel of Chongqing University’s Coal Mine Laboratory, conducted a comprehensive inventory and inspection of all instruments and equipment, recorded the model, performance parameters, installation status and potential risks of each instrument in detail, and established a complete instrument information file. At the same time, the team carried out a full-site investigation of the original laboratory and the new laboratory, formulated a reasonable transportation route and installation plan, and carried out professional training for the relocation personnel to ensure that each staff member is familiar with the operation specifications and safety precautions.
In the instrument disassembly and packaging stage, adhering to the standardized process of Lab Revive Services, the team adopted professional disassembly tools and methods to disassemble the precision instruments one by one. For core components such as chromatographic columns, mass spectrometry detectors and sensor modules, the team carried out separate disassembly and independent packaging to avoid collision and damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are all high-quality shockproof, moisture-proof and anti-static materials, which can effectively isolate external interference and ensure the safety of instruments during transportation. For large-scale equipment that is difficult to disassemble, the team used professional hoisting equipment and formulated a special hoisting plan to ensure the smooth disassembly and transfer of equipment. In this process, the team also paid special attention to the protection of coal samples and research data, using sealed and moisture-proof containers for packaging and arranging special personnel to take charge of the transfer to avoid sample contamination and data loss.
In the transportation and loading stage, Yinzhi Sci-Tech selected a professional transportation team with rich experience in transporting precision instruments, equipped with special transport vehicles with shockproof, moisture-proof and temperature-control functions. The instruments were placed in strict accordance with the packaging specifications, and fixed and reinforced to prevent shaking and collision during transportation. The transportation route was optimized to avoid bumpy roads and harsh weather, and the whole transportation process was tracked in real time to ensure that the instruments arrived at the new laboratory safely and on time. During the loading and unloading process, professional operators operated the hoisting equipment to ensure the stable loading and unloading of instruments, and strictly implemented the loading and unloading sequence to avoid mutual interference between instruments.
In the on-site installation and commissioning stage, the team of Yinzhi Sci-Tech, with the technical support of Lab Revive Services, carried out the installation and debugging of the instruments in accordance with the original installation standards and technical requirements. For precision instruments such as coal quality analysis equipment, the team carried out precise calibration and performance testing to ensure that the instrument parameters meet the scientific research requirements and the performance is stable and reliable. For large-scale disaster simulation devices, the team carried out overall installation and system debugging, and conducted joint tests with the technical personnel of the laboratory to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. After the installation and debugging of all instruments, the team conducted a comprehensive inspection and acceptance, and provided professional operation training for the laboratory staff, introducing the use methods, maintenance skills and safety precautions of the instruments, to ensure that the staff can proficiently operate the instruments and carry out scientific research work normally.
After nearly two months of intense and orderly work, the relocation project of Chongqing University’s Coal Mine Laboratory was successfully completed. All instruments and equipment were safely transferred to the new laboratory, and passed the performance test and acceptance of the university and relevant departments. The entire relocation process did not cause any instrument damage, sample loss or data leakage, and the scientific research work of the laboratory was seamlessly connected, which was highly recognized by Chongqing University. This project not only demonstrated the professional strength of Yinzhi Sci-Tech in laboratory relocation but also reflected the advanced technology and standardized service system of Lab Revive Services in the field of laboratory full-life-cycle services.
As the Chinese partner of Lab Revive Services, Yinzhi Sci-Tech has always adhered to the service concept of “professionalism, efficiency and reliability”, and continuously introduced the advanced technology and experience of Lab Revive Services to provide high-quality laboratory solutions for domestic scientific research institutions. The successful completion of the relocation project of Chongqing University’s Coal Mine Laboratory is an important practice of the cooperation between the two parties in the Chinese market, which not only expands the influence of Lab Revive Services in the Chinese market but also promotes the development of the domestic laboratory service industry towards standardization and professionalism.
Looking forward to the future, Yinzhi Sci-Tech will continue to deepen its cooperation with Lab Revive Services, focus on the needs of domestic scientific research institutions, and provide more professional, efficient and high-quality laboratory relocation, instrument maintenance, calibration and other services.
