Air Intake Filter
A replaceable air intake filter cleans the air used to pressurize sheath fluid. This filter is
enclosed behind an access door located on the back of the Luminex 200 analyzer.
Syringe
The syringe delivers a sample from the 96-well microtiter plate to the cuvette.
Sheath Filter
The sheath filter removes particles greater than ten microns in diameter from the sheath fluid.
Air, Waste, and Sheath Fluid Connectors
The air, waste, and sheath connectors, located on the left side of the analyzer, connect to the
SD system and waste fluid containers using clear tubing. The air connector is green, the
sheath fluid connector is blue, and the waste fluid connector is orange.
Luminex Sheath Delivery System
For proper operation, place the Luminex SD system at the same level as the base of the
Luminex XYP instrument. Do not put it on top of the Luminex 200 analyzer. If you are not
using the SD system, sheath fluid levels must be monitored manually. Check the sheath fluid
level before starting a run or procedure.
WARNING: If biological samples have been tested with the system, use
your standard laboratory safety practices.
Waste Fluid Container
The waste fluid container receives waste from the system.
