• Lint-free wipes
• 70% isopropanol
• (Optional) 10% bleach solution
In the event of a spill or leak on or inside the Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Food Protection
Instrument, perform the following steps.
Note:
Dispose of all waste in appropriate liquid or solid waste containers.
1.
Remove the Ion S5
™
Wash Solution bottle, then remove and empty the waste
reservoir.
2.
Remove the Ion S5
™
Sequencing Reagents cartridge.
3.
Inspect the waste and nucleotide reagent bays for liquid.
4.
Using absorbent paper soak up as much liquid as possible, then wash the
affected area with 10% bleach solution.
5.
Wipe the affected surfaces with 70% isopropanol, then allow to air-dry.
The Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Food Protection Instrument requires cleaning before
initialization. Cleaning is normally performed automatically at the completion of the
previous sequencing run. To enable two sequencing runs on a single initialization,
you must deselect the Enable post-run clean checkbox for the first sequencing run.
The post-run cleaning is then performed normally after the second sequencing run.
However, if the Enable post-run clean checkbox is deselected for the second run, the
cleaning is not performed after either run. If the second sequencing run is not
performed, or the cleaning is not performed automatically after the second run, the
instrument will not allow the subsequent initialization to proceed until a manual
cleaning is performed.
Do not perform a manual cleaning if the Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Food Protection
Instrument is initialized and
• a sequencing run is not started within 24 hours, or
• a run is not started or completed due to a power failure or an abort
In these cases, an instrument reset run is required before reinitialization. See “Perform
an instrument reset run with an initialized, unused Ion S5
™
Wash Solution
cartridge“ on page 16 for more information.
