科学仪器的创新是知识创新和技术创新的重要内容。发展科学仪器应当视为国家战略。分析仪器是科学仪器的重要组成部分。分析仪器工业是高技术信息产业。分析仪器的发展是现代科学、经济和社会发展的重要基础和推动力之一。分析仪器的主要应用领域正向生物医学领域转移。分析仪器本身将不断微型化、智能化。但人类向时间和空间的两个极限挑战所需的高级精密仪器也不容忽视。生命过程、生产、科研和社会活动大量需要的将是在线、非侵入、非损坏、原位、实时、多维分析仪器。我国分析仪器与国外的差距在扩大的趋势值得髙度重视。改变这种局面的要素之一是领导者、企业家和科技工作者都必须改变对科学仪器的旧观念。

Analytical instruments form an important part of scientific instruments section. Analytical instrument industry belongs to the information industry with high technology. The development of analytical instrument industry is one of the main promotion forces and basis for the development of modern science and technology, economy and society. The innovation in scientific instrumentation is by all means an innovation of science and technology. It should be considered as a strategy of the whole nation to speed up the development of scientific instruments. The main application area of analytical instruments has been moving towards the biomedical fields and analytical instrumentation itself is going towards miniaturization and with more intelligence. However, the precise instrumentation of high quality needed when the human challenges the two extremes of either time or space is definitely not negligible. Life, production, scientific research and social activities all need large quantities of such analytical instruments as on-line, noninvasive, nondestructive, in-situ, in-real-time and multidimensional instruments. The trend of widening the gop between the instrument industry at home and abroad must be taken into serious consideration. One of the main factors which influences the changing of such a situation most would be the change of the old idea on scientific instruments of all ranks including leaders, enterprisers as well as scientists and engineers.
