Use the following procedure to prepare fluidics safely and shut down the system.
1 Perform a maintenance wash to flush the system. For more information, see Perform a
Maintenance Wash on page 100.
2 Remove the flow cell from the flow cell stage.
3 Using an alcohol wipe or a lint-free tissue moistened with ethanol or isopropanol,
carefully wipe the surface of the flow cell holder until it is clean.
CAUTION
Do not allow alcohol to drip into the vacuum holes or around the manifolds. Use a low-lint
lab tissue to dry the stage, if necessary.
