Reservoir
The reservoir holds fluids used in system maintenance operations
such as washing, draining, or sanitizing. You can find the reservoir at
the top right of the XYP plate holder. The vertical rectangle to the
right of the microtiter plate represents the reservoir on the run batch
tab of the IS software screen.
Temperature and
Pressure Gauges
Proper temperature and sheath pressure are essential to optimal
system performance. When you calibrate and verify the system, it
warms the temperature and pressurizes for the system’s peak
performance.
The XYP heater temperature measures the internal XYP plate
temperature. The DD temperature measures the doublet discriminator
temperature.
DD temperature shifting often indicates a need for system
recalibration. If you see that your DD temperatures are out of range
(indicated when the DD Temperature thermometer turns red),
recalibrate the instrument.
These gauges monitor the temperature and sheath pressure and show
them to you:

Note: While warming, the
temperature can fluctuate.
Wait for the temperature to
stabilize before acquiring
sample.
