Drain Command Use the Drain command during troubleshooting to help remove
debris from the bottom of the cuvette. Luminex does not recommend
routinely draining the cuvette.
When draining, you do not need to supply solution. Draining takes
approximately two minutes and should be followed by an alcohol
flush with 70% isopropanol.
Any fluid that drains from the system drains to the Luminex XYP
reservoir as the default. However, you can set the system to drain to
any unused well on the microtiter plate. The drain function normally
expels 125
µ L of fluid.
Note: Ensure that the location
you select to expel fluid has
the reserve capacity to hold
the volume expelled.
