    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] As 2021 draws to a close, the Instrument Information Network has carried out an inventory of the purchase of instruments and equipment of the General Administration of Customs from January to December 2021
    .
    According to statistics, the General Administration of Customs issued a total of 48 equipment-related procurement projects in 2021, involving 573 equipment (sets), with a total bid of 160 million yuan
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    According to the statistics of the Instrument Information Network, the scientific instrument categories purchased by the General Administration of Customs in 2021 are mainly divided into chemical analysis instruments , life science instruments, optical instruments, etc.
    , accounting for 31.
    4%, 17.
    5%, and 14.
    2% of all purchased categories.
    Imported brands and The winning bids of domestic brands accounted for 52% and 48% of the total respectively
    .

     
    Analytical Instruments
    However, in terms of analytical instruments, optical instruments and other categories, the advantages of imported brands remain.
    International brands such as Agilent, Boxun, Nikon, Zhiwei, and Zeiss are all on the list and become major bid winners
    .
    The bid-winning products mainly involve high-end scientific instruments such as gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, stereo microscopes, and biological microscopes
    .

     

      Scientific instruments are tools for characterizing and testing the composition, structure, interaction mechanism and mechanism, and changing laws and trends of things, and obtaining relevant scientific data
    .

     

      At this stage, scientific instruments are divided into 12 categories, including analytical instruments, physical performance testing instruments, electronic measuring instruments, measuring instruments, marine instruments, and nuclear instruments.
    They are widely used in biomedicine, aerospace, advanced energy, advanced manufacturing, and modern agriculture.
    , Modern transportation, public safety and other fields
    .

     
    Electronic measurement
      The instrument industry is not large in size, but it has the effect of "severing a lot of pounds"
    .
    In the early 1990s, the National Bureau of Standards of the United States Department of Commerce issued a report: The total output value of the instrumentation industry accounted for only 4% of the total industrial output value, but its impact on the national economy reached 66%
    .

     

      With the continuous deepening of research on information technology, material technology, and life sciences in China, the demand for scientific instruments is growing rapidly, especially at the current stage in China’s pharmaceutical research and development, chip research and development, artificial intelligence technology research is accelerating, and the importance of the scientific instrument industry is increasing.

    .

     

      Han Yugang, director of the Protein Science Research Platform of the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized that scientific instruments are the basic conditions for scientific research, an important form of scientific and technological innovation, and an important support for the development of the national economy
    .
    However, due to the late start of research and innovation and the weak foundation, scientific instrument research and development has become a shortcoming in the development of science and technology in China
    .

     

      According to the total value of the import and export commodity chapters in the monthly statistics of the General Administration of Customs of China, in 2018, the export value of China's equipment and equipment was about 71.
    47 billion U.
    S.
    dollars, and the import value was 102.
    62 billion U.
    S.
    dollars; in 2019, the export value was 72.
    95 billion U.
    S.
    dollars, and imports The amount is 98.
    71 billion U.
    S.
    dollars
    .
    This means that the current research and development of scientific instruments in China is still a "stuck neck" problem, the core and key technologies are controlled by people, and most of the important instruments and equipment rely on imports
    .

     

      Scientific instruments are called the "eyes" of scientists
    .
    According to industry insiders, if you rely too much on imported instruments, first, there are risks, and scientific research work will be controlled by others; second, instrument users will have to spend a lot of money to buy high-priced products
    .

     

      We cannot always count on relying on the scientific and technological achievements of others to improve our own technological level
    .
    Therefore, the shortcoming of scientific instrument research and development urgently needs to be filled
    .
    From national leaders to national ministries and commissions to local governments, scientific instruments have been placed in an important position
    .

     

      Beginning in 2011, the central government has allocated funds to establish a special project for the development of major national scientific research equipment
    .
    The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance launched a special project for the development of major national scientific instruments and equipment
    .
    This special project emphasizes market-oriented, application-oriented, and industrialization-oriented
    .
    Localities are also focusing on the development of high-end scientific instrument industry under the unified coordination and support of the state, and building scientific instrument industrial parks
    .

     

      At the 20th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 15th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, national leaders pointed out that we must proceed from the urgent and long-term needs of the country and focus on oil and gas, basic raw materials, high-end chip, the software industry, crop seeds, scientific testing instruments and equipment, chemicals and other key core technology efforts crucial to speed up the core technology breakthroughs in key areas of a number of drugs, medical devices, medical equipment, vaccines and so on
    .

     

      It can be seen that the country attaches great importance to domestic scientific instruments
    .

     

      At present, our country is transforming from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country.
    To achieve this goal, the level of scientific research is making rapid progress.
    As an important auxiliary equipment, the demand for scientific instruments will continue to grow rapidly
    .
    At the same time, the progress of scientific research level has also caused the market to continuously increase the demand for high-tech scientific instruments, and the development of China's scientific instrument industry has both opportunities and challenges
    .

     

      In the future, China's scientific instrument industry needs to continuously improve its R&D and innovation capabilities and production technology levels, and improve product quality, in order to keep up with the pace of market development and achieve import substitution of high-end products
    .
