Quick cycle / Extended cycle
Select between the quick cycle and extended cycle decontamination procedures.
The quick cycle takes 30 minutes to complete. Agilent recommends running the quick cycle prior
to each protocol run.
The extended cycle takes 2 hours to complete. Agilent recommends running the extended cycle in
the event of a spill or leak that resulted in potential contamination of the instrument deck. At the
end of the extended cycle, the instrument automatically powers off. The system only permits
running the extended cycle once every 7 days to avoid excessive UV light exposure on the deck.
