Managing an analytical instrumentation operation is no small task. Experienced staff members are in short supply and you can’t spend time training new hires on your own–you’re expected to manage increasingly complex operations with limited technician and engineering time. But issues with your sampling system due to outdated skills can spell major problems for you including: analyzer down time, unexpected maintenance costs, and even damage to your team’s credibility as analytical instrumentation professionals. Your sampling system design or routine operations and maintenance training and procedures may be the culprit – and it’s harming your operation more than you think. 1) You haven’t checked your system for simple errors. You can improve the reliability of your analyzers by auditing and then eliminating simple mistakes from your sample system installations. When you look for them, simple mistakes like reversed check valves blocking your sample flow or a fast loop flowing backwards are easy to find, and the remedies are obvious.
