Can I run the Ion GeneStudio S5 System/Ion Chef Instrument at lower humidity levels (10-20% humidity) rather than the 40% humidity recommended in the user guide?

We do not recommend running the Ion GeneStudio S5 System/Ion Chef Instrument in environmental conditions other than our recommended operating conditions. When the instrument runs within a lower humidity range of 10-20% there are risks to the electronics, as low humidity levels are likely to lead to electrostatic discharges. Damage to the electronics can result in run failure and hence performance cannot be guaranteed. Please ensure that the instrument is run at the recommended humidity of 40%.
