GC-2050 - Automatic Shutdown: Enhancing Efficiency and Cost Savings
Operating a gas chromatograph (GC) like the GC-2050 often means that it doesn’t need to run throughout the entire night. For instance, if the last analysis is completed by midnight, the GC might remain in standby mode for several hours, consuming unnecessary gas and electricity. The automatic shutdown feature of the GC-2050 offers a straightforward solution to this issue, helping to save on operational costs.
?
To utilize this feature, configure the software to set a delay time for the GC to cool down before stopping the carrier gas supply. When setting up a batch or sequence of batch analyses, ensure that the automated shutdown is activated only for the last batch scheduled for the night. After completing the final analysis, the GC-2050 will automatically shut down and enter sleep mode, awaiting either an automated or manual restart command.

By leveraging the automatic shutdown feature, you can significantly reduce unnecessary energy consumption and operational costs, making the GC-2050 an even more efficient tool in your laboratory.
