Recently, Anhui Provincial Military Grain Emergency Support Center equipment Open tender, plan to purchase 4 million yuan for gas chromatography, liquid chromatography-atom fluorescence spectrometer, etc. instrument Equipment. However, the bidding documents require gas chromatograph, graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer and other 13 types of analytical instruments 'imported'.
Recently, the Grain Bureau of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region issued an announcement with a budget of 22.3 million yuan for bidding for the 2017 “Quality Grain Project” grain quality and safety inspection and monitoring system construction project. However, due to domestic production failure or instrument technical performance indicators can not meet the requirements. , purchased gas chromatograph, high-throughput automatic solid phase extraction, atomic absorption spectrometer Class 46 instruments require import.
Re-importing light domestically produced, this phenomenon has long been common. Although China's investment in scientific research has increased in recent years, some units are often keen to buy imported instruments when purchasing instruments, even if the price is much higher than domestic instruments. In the laboratories of some countries, provinces, cities and enterprises, instruments of foreign companies such as Shimadzu and Agilent can be seen everywhere.
According to the "China Scientific Instrument Industry Development Report (2016)" statistics, China's annual investment in purchasing foreign scientific instruments and equipment is more than 40 billion yuan. Many scientific instruments used in China, especially advanced precision instruments, are almost monopolized by Western developed countries.
Throughout the world's technological powers, almost all are advanced scientific instrument manufacturing powers. In order to become a world technology powerhouse, China must strengthen the research and development of high-end scientific instruments.
