To install an elution fluid canister into the instrument, first hold the canister with the valve
pointing down. Then place the canister valve into the Canister Interface Port located on
the right side of the instrument. Now press the canister down and hook the edge under
the Canister Latch as shown in Figure 4.5.

ANISTER
To remove an Elution Fluid Canister, push down on the top of the canister pulling it away
from the instrument to unlatch.
When the instrument is new, the elution fluid canister valve will tend to stick in the Canister
Interface Port. Simply grab the canister with your hand and press your thumb against the
Canister Latch to leverage it up and out of the Canister Interface Port.
If a canister is removed before it is completely empty, a small amount of fluid (approximately 100 µL) may be expelled
from the can, this is normal.
The Canister Interface Port is the first place where contamination can enter the instrument's fluidics. Never let dust or dirt
enter the port and use good lab practices to prevent bacterial contamination. This would include not touching the stem
of the Elution Fluid Canister, the storage fluid interface fitting, or the Canister Interface Port with fingers or other non-
sterile objects. Protect the Canister Interface Port from contaminants by leaving the Storage Fluid Adapter connected to
the port when the instrument is not in use. Utilize the protective orange cap (HC03173) included with the unit for long
term storage. Clean the Canister Interface Port using an Alcohol Prep Pad prior to installing a new elution fluid canister.
