I just can talk about optics equipment but, for sure, dust, heat and humidity make a huge difference on how often maintenance is required, especially with all three together. Heat and humidity together can facilitate fungi growth, and dust makes cleaning of optics necessary more often.

Thanks Luis, that great.

Each region has its own population standards for setting up laboratory analyzers, the altitude above sea level, climatic conditions in the operating room also have an effect, the increase in the number of studies increases the number of maintenance visits per year from four to eight, since each device has its own standards for the number of studies, as well as for the conditions and terms of storage and use of reagents.
