Estimation of time spent on studies of toxic elements in food in an accredited laboratory testing center

Abstract

Reducing the time spent on preparing a sample for analysis by 19.5 times, as well as cost items for raw materials and basic materials by 2.6 times, is a weighty argument in favor of introducing the PLP-01M microwave laboratory system. When the estimated price for a unit of research is established, the competitiveness in the market for the services provided significantly increases, the setting of the market price allows increasing revenue by 1.2 times, which will amount to 883 thousand rubles. additional income. Upgrading the equipment used from Kvant-AFA to Kvant-2AT with the simultaneous implementation of the PLP-01M microwave laboratory system will not only improve the used measuring instrument, but also the entire sample preparation system as a whole. The optimal choice of measuring instruments for updating the laboratory base is carried out based on the volume of analyzed samples, the productivity of existing and considered for implementation instruments, the cost of equipment and the solvency of the TLC, as well as the possibility of implementing a new method in the laboratory.
