10. Switch off the recirculating chiller at the power switch.
11. Switch off the exhaust unit.
12. Close Windows and switch off the PC.

The analysis system is now switched off.
7.3 Using the plasma deactivation switch in the event of faults
Immediately switch off the plasma using the plasma deactivation switch on the left-hand side of
the device if one of the following faults occur:

A rattling sound can be heard

A ring plasma forms (plasma forms only in the induction coil)

The quartz glass of the external torch tube is red-hot

No communication with the PC
Wait 2 min. for the device to cool down before switching off the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 at the
power switch.
After the plasma has been switched off manually or an automatic shut-down caused by one of
the device safety circuits, check if all switch-on conditions are met before reigniting the plasma.
7.4 Starting a measurement routine
A method must be developed before a measurement can be made. The Analytik Jena AG
application team is on hand to offer support. Please observe the information provided in the
operating instructions for the ASpect PQ program.
1. Switch on the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 and ignite the plasma, as described in the section
"Switching on the PlasmaQuant PQ 9000 and igniting the plasma" p. 40.
2. Select a method.
In the toolbar, click on the folder symbol next to the M
ETHOD
field and select the method in
the database window.
3. Create or load a sequence:
– Perform a calibration at the beginning of the sequence.
– When loading a sequence, make sure that the calibration is compatible with the
method. Analysis lines of the calibration standards must match the calibration in the
method.
– After calibration, measure a QC sample in order to verify the correctness of the
calibration.
4. Create a sample ID table.
5. Start the measurement.
– Start the measurement routine by clicking on or selecting the R
