Turning Off the Instrument
There are two modes of turning off your ICP-OES. For day-to-day use, it is
recommended that the instrument be set to Standby mode (which keeps the
polychromator thermostating system and purge systems operational). When the
ICP-OES is not going to be in use for prolonged periods, the Shutdown mode may
be used (which turns off all purging as well as the polychromator thermostating
system).
Using Standby Mode
To set the instrument to Standby mode:
1
Rinse the spraychamber by aspirating water for a few minutes.
NOTE
When running organic samples, it is recommended that the spraychamber be
cleaned and dried thoroughly between analyses.
