Space is one of your lab's most important resources, and that means you need to use it strategically. There are a lot of risks associated with a crowded lab, but it's not always easy to find creative ways to organize or design more space in your lab. With that in mind, here are some basic tips you can follow to maximize your lab space and make sure your lab is as efficient and safe as possible.
Invest in cleaning and maintenance:
Just like at home, putting off regular cleaning and tidying up in your lab can leave you with too much cleaning backlog. Instead of waiting for the mess to get out of hand, get into the habit of regularly cleaning the lab. When the equipment is not in use, clean it and put it away. It may be difficult for you and your laboratorians to regularly do this, but it will pay off in the end.
As for maintenance, you should be keen on dealing with companies (authorized distributors) that conduct periodic visits for maintenance and check on the performance and efficiency of the devices’ work, especially verifying that they always give the most accurate results.
Create an organized work schedule:
If different laboratorians are going to share some equipment for lab operations, it is helpful to plan and implement a schedule to keep things organized and reduce confusion among the laboratory staff. Consider the needs of laboratory personnel and create a schedule that will allow you to use the equipment at maximum efficiency.
Be sure to distribute this schedule among lab workers and make it public in your lab so that they can refer to the schedule whenever they need to.
Equip your lab with the right equipment:
Efficiently designed lab equipment will help you maximize space in your lab. You can invest in compact laboratory equipment that delivers exceptional performance in a small and efficient space. Compact lab equipment models can also save a lot of space in your lab and give your lab workers more room to work.
