How to ensure proper management and replacement of consumables?
Effective management of consumables can be achieved through: 1. Inventory management systems: Use software to track usage and alert when items are running low or nearing expiration. 2. Regular audits: Conduct periodic checks to ensure all consumables are within their usable date and stored properly. 3. Training staff: Ensure that all laboratory personnel are trained to recognize the signs of consumable wear and the importance of timely replacement. 4. Standard operating procedures (SOPs): Implement and follow SOPs for the handling and replacement of consumables.
