Long Shutdown Procedure (Prepare for Storage or Shipment)
Before the 405 LS is shipped or stored, the entire system should be rinsed and
soaked with disinfectant and then purged of all fluid. Perform these steps when
leaving the instrument unused for a long period of time.
Predefined protocols are installed onboard the instrument and on the host
computer during installation of the LHC:
LHC Keypad
W-DECONTAMINATE DECON_STEP1, STEP2, STEP3

n Two supply bottles are required for this procedure: one for disinfectant, and
one for rinse. Except Buffer Switching models require four bottles altogether,
two of each solution.
1. Empty the waste bottle.
2. Prepare an aqueous solution of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO, or bleach).
3. Fill one or two supply bottles with at least 300 mL of bleach solution
(disinfectant).
4. Fill another supply bottle or two with at least 500 mL of deionized water (rinse).
When using Buffer Switching:
l Buffer valve C & D: Disinfectant
l Buffer valve A & B: Rinse solution (they will be reversed in the next
round)
Without Buffer Switching, connect the bottle containing disinfectant to the
Fluid In port.
5. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the instrument.
6. Run the decontamination protocols.
