       The term cost-effectiveness is not familiar to everyone. Many people will compare the products when shopping, and then choose the most cost-effective one, and the instrument industry is no exception. When we purchase instruments, we will also compare similar products and select the most cost-effective ones. Cost-effectiveness is the proportional relationship between the function and price of a product, but what is the real cost-effectiveness of an instrument product? How is the function of the instrument judged? Many buyers will think that it is the function of the instrument. Is this understanding accurate? The editor of China Chemical Instrument Network and your instrument unveil the veil of the cost-effectiveness of instrument products.

In the instrument industry, many people still take it for granted that the ratio of product and function to price is cost-effectiveness. At first glance, this statement is very accurate, but it is not the case in depth. Instrument products are very different from other products, especially analytical instruments. Analytical instruments are mostly used for testing. The accuracy of test data is closely related to the quality of the instrument. The most important form of performance. That is to say, the function of an instrument does not depend on how many detection functions it has, but on the detection accuracy and the consistency of the detection results.

Many people will say that the detection accuracy of products on the market is almost the same, so their cost performance is relatively similar. This statement is true for most commodities on the market, but it seems to be inaccurate for analytical instruments. Most products experience some wear and tear from use. Aging and other phenomena, but will not affect the use. And what kind of problems will be caused by the wear and aging of instrument products? The most common one is probably that the test data is incorrect. For most tests, incorrect data is not only a problem of errors, but will cause the loss of testing and experiments. significance. That is to say, if the detection data of an instrument is incorrect and the repeatability is not strong, it means that the instrument has lost its meaning of existence.

Therefore, the price-performance ratio in our minds when purchasing instruments is not only the ratio of product function and price, but also the effective service life of the product should be fully considered. Instead of just looking at the products and prices in front of them, more consideration should be given to the consistency and accuracy of the test results after the product has been used for a period of time. This is the true reflection of the cost-effectiveness of instrument products.
