Reset Your Lab for 2026

As 2025 came to an end, it is the perfect time to pause, reset, and prepare your lab for the demands of 2026. A thoughtful year-end reset helps reduce downtime, improve accuracy, and ensure your team starts the new year confident and well equipped.
 

Recalibrate Critical Equipment
Pipettes are essential to daily lab work and should be calibrated and certified before the new year. Inspect tips, seals, and moving components to maintain accurate volume delivery and protect data integrity. Well maintained liquid handling tools, including those supported by BRANDTECH, help ensure consistent results.
 

Clean and Inspect Dispensers
Over time, dispensers can accumulate residue that affects performance. A thorough cleaning and inspection, along with replacing worn parts, helps maintain accuracy and reduce contamination risk.

Maintain Aspiration Systems
Aspiration systems and waste containers should be fully emptied and cleaned to prevent buildup and odors. Inspect tubing, filters, and connections before resuming routine use.

Service Vacuum Pumps
Vacuum pumps play a critical role in many workflows. Scheduling preventative maintenance now, such as oil changes and filter replacements, can extend equipment life and help avoid unexpected downtime. VACUUBRAND vacuum systems perform best with regular care.

Review Inventory and Consumables
Review usage from the past year and restock essential consumables like tips, filters, and tubing. Planning ahead helps avoid disruptions caused by supply delays.

Start the Year Ready
A lab reset is more than maintenance. It is about setting your team up for a productive, reliable year ahead.
