Using the Loader
The Loader operates by software commands only. Commands are issued with
either BD FACSCanto clinical software or BD FACSDiva software. For
instructions on running samples with the Loader, refer to the BD FACSCanto II
Instructions for Use.
Opening and Closing the Loader Doors
Sliding doors are located in front of and to the right of the Loader drawer.
Opening the Loader Doors
To open the front door, pull the top of its handle toward you (away from the
cytometer) to disengage the latch, and then slide the door to the left. To open the
right door, use its handle to slide the door away from you (toward the back of the
cytometer).

Closing the Loader Doors
To close the front door, use the handle to slide the door to the right until it
latches. To close the right door, use the handle to slide the door toward the front
until you feel it seat in the closed position. When both doors become properly
closed, the Loader carousel spins as it initializes.
