Abstract:

This study investigates typical issues in equipment and chemical management within local university chemistry laboratories, taking National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry (Shanxi University) as a case. Drawing on advanced management practices from domestic and international institutions, the center innovatively applies a life-cycle management approach across three focal areas: equipment, chemicals, and laboratory personnel. The implementation of life cycle management has proven effective in enhancing laboratory management standards and ensuring experimental safety. This study offers a replicable and scalable model for laboratory management in local universities, providing valuable insights for advancing laboratory management practices in Chinese higher education institutions.
