Alcohol Flush the
System
Alcohol flush the system to remove air bubbles from the cuvette
using 70% isopropanol. The cuvette is the principal fluid pathway
within the optics component of the system through which the system
reads sample. The alcohol flush takes about six minutes.
‹ To remove air bubbles from the cuvette, follow this step:
1. Click Alcohol Flush. A confirmation dialog box appears to tell
you to place alcohol flush solution (70% isopropanol) in the
reservoir.
2. Click Eject/Retract. The plate holder ejects.
3. Place the solution in the location you indicated and click Eject/
Retract to retract the plate holder.
4. Click OK to continue. The command list on the Run Batch tab
indicates that the system is sanitizing. Upon completion, the
command list indicates whether the command succeeded with
green text or the command failed with red text.
Sanitize the
System
Sanitize the system to decontaminate the sample lines and the cuvette
after biohazard contact using 10% household bleach. Luminex
recommends sanitizing as part of your daily shutdown routine after
biohazard contact. Sanitizing uses the XYP reservoir location
because only the reservoir can accommodate the amount of fluid
necessary to sanitize the instrument.
‹ To sanitize for decontamination (10% bleach):
1. Click Sanitize. A confirmation dialog box appears telling you to
place sanitize solution (10% bleach) in the reservoir.
2. Click Eject/Retract. The plate holder ejects.
3. Place the solution in the reservoir and click Eject/Retract to
retract the plate holder.
4. Click OK to continue. The command list on the Run Batch tab
indicates that the system is sanitizing. Upon completion, the
command list indicates whether the command succeeded with
green text or the command failed with red text.
