Cleaning the Sample
Probe
‹ To clean the Sample Probe:
1. Remove the Sample Probe as follows. First, unsnap the light
housing located above the probe. Then, unscrew the Cheminert
fitting on top of the probe completely. Next, gently grasp the
probe and push up. Remove the probe out of the top of the
Sample Arm.
2. Clean the Sample Probe using a bath sonicator or using a 10 mL
syringe. If you are using a bath sonicator, place the smaller end
of the Sample Probe in the bath sonicator for 2 to 5 minutes. If
you are using a syringe, force 10% to 20% bleach through the
larger end of the Sample Probe.
3. Replace the Sample Probe and adjust the vertical height. You
should adjust the vertical height anytime the probe is removed.
4. Alcohol Flush the system with 70% isopropanol.
Danger: Be sure that the system is not performing an operation
when you remove the Sample Probe.
Caution: The Luminex XYP instrument Sample Probe should
slide up easily while removing it from the sample arm. If you feel
resistance, do not force the probe up. Contact Luminex Cus-
tomer Support.
