Dionex ICS-3000 - Long term Storage Advice

[clpeterm]

Hi- I am looking for advice. I need to shut down our ICS-3000 for a long period of time. I want to do it in such a way that the micro tubing, suppressor, columns, and such are able to withstand the long period of inactivity.

Suggestions?

Dionex employees monitor this forum and will be along with the best advise , however I would advise disassemble and cap off all the columns and pipes after flushing the pump etc. with deionised water. The supressors and columns will have recommended storage solutions that used to be detailed on the column info sheet that came with the columns , you should also find it in the manuals.
