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
