Luminex recommends sanitizing with 10% household bleach as part
of your daily shutdown routine after biohazard contact. Sanitizing
uses the Luminex XYP reservoir to accommodate the amount of
fluid necessary to sanitize the Luminex 100 analyzer. After
sanitizing, perform a soak command to soak the probe in distilled
water to prevent crystal formation in the Luminex XYP Sample
Probe.
‹ To shutdown the Luminex 100 analyzer:
1. At the Maintenance tab, click Sanitize. A confirmation dialog
box appears prompting you to place sanitize solution (10%
bleach) in the XYP reservoir.
2. Click Eject/Retract. The plate holder ejects.
3. Place the solution in the XYP reservoir and click Eject/Retract
to retract the plate holder.
4. Click OK to continue. The Message Log on the Diagnostics tab
indicates that the command started. The Device Activity box on
the Status Bar indicates that the system is sanitizing. Wait until
the Sanitize command completes before initiating another
command.
5. Click Soak to fill the Sample Probe with distilled water to
prevent sheath fluid crystals from forming in the Sample Probe.
A confirmation dialog box appears. See Figure 120.
