Article number: 224364

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Shut down and disassemble a Binary Solvent Manager for shipment to the repair center.

Wash the system with H₂O for 20 minutes, and then wash the system with 2-propanol for 20 minutes.
Remove the solvent filter and tubings from the solvent bottles and put them into a plastic bag (do not disconnect from degasser).
Close the control software and power-off all modules of the stack.
Electrically unplug all UPLC modules. Mark and remove any cables (Ethernet, signal, I/O, events) from the modules.
(Marking the cables is important for reinstalling the system when the modules come back from repair. Photos of the cable and tubing are also helpful.)
Remove fluidics connections: strong needle wash (SNW/white labeled PEEK tubing), weak needle wash (WNW/orange labeled PEEK tubing), and Pump Outlet (blue labeled steel capillary from mixer to Sample Manager).
Remove the waste tubings from the sample manager routed toward the solvent manager and leave them connected to the sample manager.
If a column manager is included in the system, disconnect the steel tubing from inject valve to column manager at port 6 of the inject valve.
Move the module to a suitable box for shipment. (If a box is not available, ask your local Waters office.)
Fill and sign the latest revision of the Environmental Health and Safety document provided by Waters.
Attach the signed EH&S document outside the box and send a PDF copy to the local Waters office.
The Waters office arranges the shipment.
