Technical Overview
The Fluid Compartment
At the bottom of the front panel of MAGPIX, a door folds down to provide access to the
fluid compartment. Within that compartment, two trays hold the Drive Fluid and waste fluid
containers. Internal sensors monitor the fullness of the waste fluid container and the
emptiness of the Drive Fluid container. When either container reaches an unacceptable
level, MAGPIX stops. Luminex IVD xPONENT for MAGPIX Software User Manual
provides instructions for setting up an alert to warn you about unacceptable fluid levels.

The Drive Fluid container comes pre-filled and is disposable. The reusable waste fluid
container receives waste from the system. The waste and Drive Fluid tubes connect to the
waste fluid and Drive Fluid containers using clear tubing.
WARNING: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling
parts that come into contact with potentially biohazardous
samples. Make certain the waste fluid container is properly
vented.
