Daily Shutdown
Procedures
Sanitize the
System
Sanitize the system with 10% to 20% household bleach to
decontaminate the sample lines and the cuvette after biohazard
contact. You should sanitize as part of your daily shutdown routine
after biohazard contact. Sanitizing uses the Luminex XYP reservoir
location because only the reservoir can accommodate the amount of
fluid necessary to sanitize the instrument.
To sanitize the fluidics in the analyzer:
1. On the Maintenance tab, click Eject/Retract.
2. Put the bleach solution in the reservoir.
3. Click OK. The plate holder retracts, and the system performs the
Sanitize command.
4. Run two Wash commands.
Run a Wash
Command
Use the wash command as part of shutdown procedure, and as
needed, especially after calibration and after sanitizing. Place at least
200 mL in a microtiter well or fill the Luminex XYP reservoir with
distilled water.
To perform a Wash command:
1. On the Maintenance tab, click Eject/Retract.
2. Click Wash. A confirmation dialog box opens telling you to
place solution in the reservoir.
3. Put distilled water in the reservoir.
4. Click OK. The plate holder retracts, and the system performs the
Wash command.
