Increased laboratory instrument levels

With the development and breakthrough of new technologies in our country, laboratory instruments will also usher in upgrading and upgrading to high-end development to meet more application needs. However, there are certain problems behind the rapid development. At present, most laboratory instrument manufacturers in China are small and medium-sized enterprises, and their ability to innovate is limited. Therefore, high-end laboratory instruments are still mainly imported, and the profitability of the high-end market attracts Many well-known foreign companies entered the Chinese market and competed with domestic manufacturers of laboratory equipment. This has intensified the competition in the laboratory equipment industry and enabled more companies to gain a foothold in the fierce competition through continuous innovation and enhanced product quality supervision. The land, thus accelerating the development speed of the domestic laboratory instrument industry, coupled with the government's support for instrument production, high-tech industries, the overall level of the laboratory instrument industry in China will be greatly improved in the next few years.

The level of China's laboratory equipment industry is not high, high-end equipment has reached the stage, the United States well-known market research organization IBISWorld released the "China's laboratory equipment and equipment manufacturing industry research report."

In China, the laboratory instrument and equipment manufacturing industry can supply general-purpose and professional analytical instruments. Applications include education, healthcare and food production. Thanks to the rapid development of these application industries, China's laboratory equipment and equipment manufacturing industry has also been rejuvenated. According to the IBISWorld survey, in the past five years, the annual growth rate of China's laboratory equipment and equipment manufacturing industry revenue was 15.7%, and in 2012 the industry output value had climbed to 3.5 billion US dollars.

In 2012, the top four companies in China's laboratory equipment and equipment manufacturing industry accounted for 39.2% of the industry's revenue, indicating that the industry level is not high. The diversity of laboratory instruments and equipment products allows a large number of small manufacturers to enter the industry. However, due to lack of capital and technological innovation, many small businesses can only produce low-quality products, so the industry is highly dependent on imported high-end products. The profitability of this high-end market has attracted more foreign companies to start setting up branches in China.

Some laboratory products have a good level of technology and there is still a gap between the overall level and the international level. According to rough statistics, there are currently more than 800 laboratory instrument companies in China, with laboratory centrifuges, balances, thermal analysis instruments, power test instruments, vacuum instruments and devices, Electrophoresis apparatus, casting testing equipment, strain gauges, environmental testing equipment, geotechnical testing instruments, acoustic instruments, and ceramic testing instruments. 12 major companies have an annual production value of nearly RMB 6 billion in 2010. Some of these products have reached or approached the advanced level in the world. With stable quality and stable quality, a small number of high-end instruments have reached the international advanced level and have independent intellectual property rights. They have successively entered European, American, African, and Southeast Asian markets, and have made gratifying achievements, with an annual export value of 1 billion yuan. However, we must see long-term development of laboratory equipment in our country.

China's automation control system and on-site instrumentation and key precision test instruments are still 10 to 15 years apart from the international level. China's instrumentation technology breakthrough still needs a lot of clearance. At present, there are many kinds of laboratory instruments, many small and medium-sized enterprises, and fierce market competition. In the constant competition, some enterprises with outstanding innovation ability and advanced R&D level will stand out, plus the Chinese government’s equipment production and high-tech industries. With support, the overall level of the laboratory instrument industry in China will be greatly increased in the coming years.

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" brings good news to laboratory instruments such as electronic scales and centrifuges. Many insiders said that the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" will bring more impact to the laboratory instrument industry. Great development, and analysis of several key industries, small series are summarized as follows:

China's electronic balance will be devoted to the development of 1mg to 0.1mg high-precision electronic balance technology, using the integrated level of the chip IC, using special equipment in the assembly process to upgrade our electronic balance technology. Laboratory centrifuges will be developed to high-end, mainly 40,000 to 50000 r/min centrifuges, to further enhance the control technology, safety protection technology, temperature control technology, rotor manufacturing technology.

Thermal analysis instruments will further enhance the level of comprehensive thermal analysis technology and promote the development of thermal analysis instruments in China. The application of environmental laboratory equipment is extremely extensive. In the new period of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," special test chambers will be further developed, and test chambers and incubators urgently needed for medical and health development will be developed. There are still many problems in the development of electrophoresis apparatus in our country. The need to further emphasize technological innovation and strengthen the application of new technologies and new materials.

Strain and vibration test instruments will focus on the development of dynamic test systems in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" to improve system anti-jamming, anti-noise, automatic calibration, high polymer rate, rapid and stable performance. Ceramic testing instruments will further realize network, on-line monitoring, intelligent control systems, human-machine interface technologies, and more. Power test instruments will be developed for multi-parameter integrated test systems, bench testing, on-line measurement and remote control technologies. Vacuum instruments and devices will further strengthen independent research and development, expand the scope of application, and increase competitive strength.
