    ICPMS – Preparing your instrument for shutdown

    1. To flush out the system, aspirate with rinse solution for five minutes then DI
    water for an additional three minutes.
    2. Shut down the plasma by clicking the Plasma Off button in LabSolutions
    ICPMS software at the bottom-left of the screen. Wait for the shutdown
    sequence to complete.

    3. Release tension on the peristaltic pump tubing by releasing the guide arms
    and detaching tubing from the tube hangers.

    4. Shut off the exhaust ventilation system and shut off argon gas at the source.
    5. Shut off helium for the collision cell at the source.
    6. Ensure that the chiller water has antimicrobial additives as recommended in
    the user manual. Three tablets of baby aspirin dissolved and circulated can
    act as a substitute for commercially available products. Shut off Chiller.
    7. Shut down the LabSolutions ICPMS software and the control computer.
    8. Shut off power to the ICPMS, autosampler, and other external accessories.
    9. Turn off external roughing pump.
    10. Dispose of the rinse solution in the J-tube and drain line and close the waste
    collection container.

    ICPMS – Startup procedure

    1. Refer to the instruction manual, (PN 305-34411, “ICPMS-2030 Instruction Manual”)


    for specific startup procedures.
    2. Start up the duct exhaust system.
    3. Supply cooling water after checking levels and the absence of contamination in the
    external chiller water.
    4. Check the oil in the external roughing pump, maintenance if necessary, and power
    on.
    5. Turn on argon and helium at the source—ensure proper pressure is not exceeded
    during this process: argon at 450 kPa ±10kPa, helium at 150 kPa ±20 kPa.
    6. Turn on the power switch on the left side of the main ICPMS-2030 body.
    7. Turn on the PC and other peripherals. Open software to establish communications.
    Allow vacuum to pump down overnight before turning on plasma.
    8. Fill the J-tube with water to create a pressure seal to the torch.
    9. Check the glassware and cones, as well as peristaltic pump, nebulizer and other
    sample introduction accessories before turning on the plasma.
    10. Refer to manual for additional details.
