3.3.3 Switching off the QIAsymphony SP/AS
To switch off the QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments, press the power switch at the front of the
QIAsymphony SP in the lower left corner. We recommend switching off the instruments after use.
Important
Do not switch off the instruments during sample preparation or assay setup
unless you need to stop the instruments due to an emergency. You will not be
able to resume the protocol or assay run and the samples cannot be processed
further by the QIAsymphony SP/AS.
Important
The QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments will lose all inventory information when the
instruments are switched off.
Important
After the QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments are switched off, the power switch
flashes a few times. When the power switch stops flashing it is safe to switch the
QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments on again.
