To Shut Down the GC for Less Than a Week
1 Wait for the current run to finish.
2 If the active method has been modified, save the changes.
WARNING
Never leave flammable gas flows on if the GC will be unmonitored. If a leak develops, the gas
could create a fire or explosion hazard.
3 Reduce oven temperature to 50 °C or lower. Reduce detector and inlet temperatures to
between 150 and 200 °C. If desired, the detector can be turned off. See Table 1 to
determine if it is advantageous to shut down the detector for a short time period. The time
required to return the detector to a stable condition is a factor.
