8.1 Daily Shutdown
The S3 system should be shut down at the end of the day. This will turn off all droplet
formation and charging, lasers, and streams. A flush will be completed with the DI water
container to rinse the system.
IMPORTANT! Always follow the personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines
relevant to your laboratory’s safety procedures for dealing with ethanol or bleach.
Note: At any time, the shutdown procedure can be canceled by clicking the X icon on the
dialog windows.
Note: If a user chooses to log off from the software, the force cleaning procedure option can
be run. Similar to the shutdown procedure, windows will appear with the exception of the
automatic startup window.
To shut down:
1. Ensure that the sample loading stage is in the wash position.
2. On the Setup and Maintenance tab select
Shutdown . The software will confirm with a
dialog box that you intend to shut down the system (Figure 88).
