<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChina’s first in the national ecological and environmental monitoring system<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 People can leave. The testing goes on. What is a “Lights-Out Laboratory”?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Robotic arms precisely retrieve samples. In a word: a shift from “people operating instruments” to “systems running experiments.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What monitoring challenges does it solve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The difficulty lies in the fact that seawater and surface water differ in sample matrix, detection methods, quality control, and analytical workflows.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Making a single system handle both reliably is far more than just placing equipment side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the past, they had to be tested separately \u2014 different methods, different standards, fragmented processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, this system developed by EXPEC Technology<\/strong>\u00a0brings sample transfer, pre-treatment, instrumental analysis, data upload, and quality control into one unified platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In just 180 square meters, it can automatically detect: What makes the “Lights-Out Laboratory” stand out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Less manpower<\/strong>: 24\/7 unmanned operation This is not merely an automation upgrade for a laboratory. It also represents a system-level integration of domestically produced high-end scientific instruments, automated control, intelligent scheduling, and environmental monitoring capabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Why does it matter to everyone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Zhoushan is a popular tourist destination known for its island scenery. Water quality directly affects every resident and visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this “Lights-Out Laboratory”: From automation to intelligence. How clean is the water at the beach you’ve visited?Between the tides, who keeps watch over the sea?You might find the answer here. At the Zhoushan Archipelago Marine Monitoring Base,a major upgrade in water testing\u00a0has quietly taken place.

a “Lights-Out Laboratory” capable of automatically analyzing both surface water and seawater<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 has officially launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Track-mounted robots shuttle samples for testing.
Instruments analyze automatically, and data uploads in real time.
Fully unmanned \u2014 yet perfectly orchestrated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/en.fpi-inc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Lights-Out-Laboratory-1.gif\")

16 seawater parameters + 19 surface water parameters
<\/strong>\u2014 land and sea, all in one pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broader coverage<\/strong>: seawater and surface water tested together
Fewer errors<\/strong>: human error minimized at the source
More reliable data<\/strong>: accurate, precise, comprehensive, fast, and current<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/en.fpi-inc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Lights-Out-Laboratory-2.gif\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Water quality changes are detected faster
Marine ecological risks such as red tides are identified earlier
Monitoring data is measured accurately, made visible, and managed effectively<\/strong>
Enjoying the sea becomes a safer, more reassuring experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/en.fpi-inc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Lights-Out-Laboratory-5-1024x572.png\")
