Purging the Fluidics Filters
Once a week, purge air from all fluid filters by opening the bleeder valve on the
top of each filter, one at a time. This ensures that the filters will not dry out.
Prime fluid lines before purging the filters, as noted in the procedure.
NOTICE The cytometer must be on (system pressurized) during this procedure.
Materials
• paper towels
• proper protective equipment
Procedure
1
Run the Prime After Tank Refill for all fluids to ensure all fluid lines are
primed.
See Priming Fluidics Lines on page 71.
2
Place a few paper towels beneath the filter to be purged to absorb any fluid
leakage.
