Shanghai Children's Medical Center is a tertiary Grade A hospital and one of the highest level centers in the fields of pediatric congenital heart disease, blood/tumor, and developmental behavior in China. The central laboratory undertakes a large number of national level scientific research projects and clinical testing tasks, and puts forward extremely high requirements for the quality, stability, and traceability of experimental water:

● Standardization requirements for water quality: Different laboratories have different requirements for water quality, and the original distributed desktop computers are difficult to manage uniformly, resulting in uneven water quality and affecting the consistency of experimental results.

● Management specialization requirements: The maintenance of dispersed desktop equipment, replacement of consumables, and archiving of records are all the responsibility of each laboratory, which is difficult to manage and poses risks of omissions and errors.

● Cost intensive requirements: repeated investment in multiple decentralized equipment, scattered procurement of consumables, high operation and maintenance costs, and occupying a large amount of valuable laboratory table space.
