Connect Sheath and Waste Containers
To connect the sheath and waste containers:
1. Connect the color-coded tubing connectors to the Luminex 200 analyzer.
Blue tubing = Sheath
Green tubing = Air
Orange tubing = Waste
2. Fill the sheath bottle with sheath fluid to just below the air intake fitting.
3. Place the sheath and waste containers to the left side of the analyzer, on the same
surface as the Luminex XYP instrument.
NOTE: Do not touch the Gore-Tex ™ seal in the waste bottle cap or allow it to
become wet, as venting may become impaired
4. Connect the blue connector to the sheath (bottom) fitting on the sheath bottle. Connect
the green connector to the air (top) fitting on the sheath bottle. Connect the orange
connector (middle) to the waste fitting on the waste bottle. Verify that the waste tubing is
not elevated more than 12 inches above the Luminex 200. To maintain a stable flow rate,
do not move the waste container or waste line during system operation.
Install the Luminex XYP Instrument Sample Probe
To install the Luminex XYP instrument sample probe:
1. Verify that the Luminex 200 analyzer and Luminex XYP instrument power switches are
off.
2. Remove the light housing directly above the sample arm by grasping and firmly pulling
out. It remains attached by a wire harness. Place it on top of the analyzer.
