Warmup
Command
Warm up the system to prepare the optics prior to sample acquisition.
The system automatically begins warming up when you turn power
on. This process takes approximately thirty minutes (seconds left
appear in status bar). Wait until warmup completes before processing
samples.
Sanitize • To decontaminate sample lines and cuvette
after biohazard contact using 10% household
bleach
– daily if working with biohazards
– monthly if not working with biohazards
Wash • As needed using sheath fluid or distilled
water
• Four times after system calibration
Drain • For troubleshooting only:
– the cuvette in the system can be drained
temporarily and refilled in preparation for
running. Draining the system helps to
remove debris from the bottom of the
cuvette.
– when draining, you do not need to supply
solution. Draining takes approximately two
minutes and should be followed by an
alcohol flush using 70% isopropanol.
Soak • Daily, at the end of the day for shutdown
• To prevent salt crystals from forming in the
probe due to exposure to air. Soaking the
probe replaces sheath fluid in the probe with
water. The system uses at least 250 µL of
distilled water.
Self
Diagnostics • To see if the device and all system operations
are running correctly
