Hello Monique,

 

I hope you are doing well!  I was sent your message and wanted to see if I can help you.  Steve turn down the temps and hit Ôshutdown' on dashboard.  When forepump shuts off, you can power down.

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you,

Guys,

May be a nice gesture to reach out and help her out. 

Per SFDC, at a minimum, she has an ISQ GCMS.  Since there are several U of MI accounts - I did not search through all.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Long-term Instrument Downtime ?

 

Anyone have best practices/protocols established for being away from instruments long-term?

 

With Univs closing nationwide, I am considering shutting down my analytical lab (chromatography and spectroscopy instrumentation as well as balances, centrifuges, pH meters, etc) with the exception of the NMR, glovebox, and cryofreezers.  We do not have the monitoring abilities for our labs such as Johnson Controls that a lot of our other places have.  Plus, Mother Nature is already very upset with us and I see no point in continuing to burn energy when no one will be around to use these things.  I have never done this in the 18 years I have been here, but had it in my Business Continuity Plan anyway.  So far, I am thinking of proper shutdown, unplugging, and covering in visqueen (leaks from the Water Crisis are still a thing).  I could add dessicant to the FT-IRs???

 

Anything else we should be thinking about here or  with modern instrumentation is this for some reason just a bad idea?

 

Thank you,

Monique
