Laboratory Management: Track Equipment & Usage for Schools
Track laboratory equipment, manage usage logs, monitor equipment condition, and maintain lab inventory. Complete laboratory management for Nigerian schools.
St Mary's Science Laboratory had ₦2 million worth of equipment. But nobody knew where half of it was. Microscopes were missing. Chemicals were unaccounted for. Equipment was broken — and nobody reported it.
Then they implemented SkulCBT's Laboratory Management module. Now every equipment is tracked. Every usage is logged. Equipment condition is monitored. Lab accountability is finally here.
🔬 The Difference:
Before: ₦2M in equipment, half unaccounted for. After: Every item tracked. Usage logged. Conditions monitored. Equipment loss stopped.

Why Nigerian Schools Need Laboratory Management
1. Equipment Gets Lost
Without tracking, equipment disappears. Microscopes, chemicals, glassware — all expensive. Laboratory management stops equipment loss.
2. Equipment Breaks Unnoticed
Students break equipment and don't report it. Labs become unsafe. Laboratory management tracks equipment condition and flags issues.
3. No Accountability
Teachers don't know who used equipment. Students don't take responsibility. Laboratory management creates accountability.
4. Wasted Resources
Schools buy equipment they already have because they don't know what's available. Laboratory management saves money.
5. Lab Safety
Broken equipment is dangerous. Laboratory management ensures equipment is maintained and unsafe items are flagged.
📊 Real Impact:
St Mary's Science Laboratory reduced equipment loss by 90% after implementing laboratory management. Equipment breakage was reported immediately. Lab safety improved significantly.
