Using Navios Software
Cytometer Menu
Pause and Rotate
CAUTION
Risk of sample misidentification. Sample misidentification can occur if you use the
Pause and Rotate button and remove the sample tube and replace it with a
different sample tube. To prevent sample misidentification, do not swap sample
tubes when using Pause and Rotate button.
The Pause and Rotate button allows you to pause processing of a single sample and rotate the
MCL to a fixed position on the carousel so that additional reagent, for example, can be added to the
sample.
NOTE
To prevent excessive air from entering the flowcell, do not leave the Cytometer paused for extended
periods of time.
NOTE
When you use the Pause and Rotate button function, and remain in the Pause and Rotate state, the
Elapsed Time setting limit is ignored.
Idle Mode
The Idle Mode button places the Cytometer in Idle mode so that various cleaning and replacing
procedures can be performed.
Prime
The Prime button allows you to declog or remove bubbles or blockages from the sample line
with sheath solution.
Cleanse
The Cleanse button allows you to initiate a cycle to flush the instrument sample lines with
cleaning solution. The Cytometer will automatically transition to the idle mode after the 60
second cleanse cycle completes.
Laser Control
The
Laser Control
Dialog allows you to place the Red and Violet lasers into a Standby state to extend
their lifetimes. The Blue laser cannot be placed into Standby mode by the software.
NOTE
If the Laser Control dialog is open when a laser changes state (e.g. from Warming Up to On), the
current state of the laser may not display correctly. Close the Laser Control dialog and re-open it to display
the current status of the lasers.
