4. Click OK to continue. The command list on the Run Batch tab
indicates that the system is running. The Device Activity field on
the Status Bar indicates that the system is sanitizing. Upon

Sanitize Command Sanitize the system with 10% to 20% household bleach to
decontaminate the sample lines and the cuvette after biohazard
contact. Luminex recommends sanitizing 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 for decontamination:
1. Click Sanitize on the Maintenance tab or Home tab. A
confirmation dialog box appears prompting you to place sanitize
solution 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 running. The Device Activity field on
the Status Bar indicates that the system is sanitizing. Upon

succeeded with green text or the command failed with red text.
Wash Command Use the wash cycle as needed. For example, wash four times with
sheath fluid after calibration. Place at least 200
µ L in a microtiter
well or fill the Luminex XYP reservoir with the sheath fluid.
Washing takes about 30 seconds.
Luminex recommends that you wash after calibration and
verification, between batches and multi-batches, and before daily
shutdown.
‹ To wash the system:
