If the SFC control module needs to be stored in other than its operational location, it is best to store it in the original factory packaging. This packaging can also be used to reship the device to a secondary location. If the original packaging is unavailable, the unit should be stored upright and preferably covered in a plastic bag or wrap to prevent exposure to dust.
To prepare the unit for storage use the following procedure:
Follow the standard decontamination procedure.
Depressurize the SFC system completely.
Power off the unit.
Remove the front panel.
Disconnect the wash pump transfer line from the autosampler.
Drain the wash pump lines of fluid.
Coil the lines to fit in the SFC control module behind the removable front panel.
Disconnect the booster pump transfer line from the binary pump at the pump inlet check valve.
Disconnect the BPR return line from the detector.
Coil both lines to fit inside the SFC control module behind the removable front panel.
Replace the front panel
Disconnect the power cord and all signal cables from both ends of the connection.
Store cables and cords in a large plastic zip-lock bag.
Cover the unit with a large plastic bag.
If the original container is available, place the unit with its left side down in the packaging. Otherwise, store the unit upright in the storage area.
If the HPLC will also be stored or shipped, and will be reconfigured as an SFC system, the upgrade components can remain in the system.
If the two systems are to be permanently separated, uninstall the check valves, modifier purge valve, 3-groove rotor and high pressure flow cell by reversing the installation procedures in Hardware Installation. Store the components along with the original software disc and any upgrades with the module.
