2. Verify that the current to the EGC and the suppressor is off.
3. If you plan to store the EGC in the EG, no further action is required.
If you plan to store the cartridge outside the EG (for example, in the
original shipping container), follow the instructions in Section 9.14.1 , to
remove the EGC from the EG, and the instructions in Section 9.14.3 , to
store the EGC.
To restart the EG:
1. Select the parameters for the analysis on the Chromeleon 7 ePanel Set or
the Chromeleon 6.8 panel tabset. For EG startup information, see
Section 4.9 .
2. Condition the EGC. For instructions, see “Conditioning the Capillary
EGC” on page 343 or “Conditioning the Analytical EGC” on page 348 .
3. Hydrate the CR-TC (see “Installing and Flushing the New CR-TC” on
page 350 ).
4. Hydrate the suppressor as instructed in the product manual. Suppressor
manuals are included on the Thermo Scientific Reference Library DVD
(P/N 053891).
5. Let the system equilibrate before collecting data.
Before shipping the EG:
1. Follow the instructions in Section 9.14.1 , to remove the EGC from the
EG.
2. Plug all fittings. Tighten the vent fitting (capillary EGC) or cap the vent
port (analytical EGC). This will prevent the evaporation of water in the
electrolyte reservoir.
Supplying power to the EGC when there is no eluent flow can severely
damage the cartridge.
Make sure the EGC packaging conforms to hazardous material
shipping requirements. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
shipped with the EGC for the chemical description.
