Prime/Work/Clean
There are 3 different possible modes available: The
“PRIME” mode for a priming/initialization process, the
“WORK” mode for measurements and the “CLEAN” mode for cleaning of the system.
Prime, Work and Clean mode
Priming / Initialization process
There is a PRIME mode available as a Start Up process for the CUBE instrument. This process includes
cleaning, filling the tubes with sheath fluid and control of the instrument set up. If a new original CFG-file will
be loaded the PRIME mode is always selected. User defined configuration files can start in PRIME or
WORK mode, depend on the status during saving.
In the following cases the PRIME mode should be performed:
Starting the
instrument for the first time → Daily initialization
After the Sheath-fluid bottle was filled
As Trouble-Shooting procedure (no/bad signals, blocking, etc.)
To start the priming/initialization process, please follow the instructions below:
Open a configuration file and select the initialization modus by clicking on the Initialization batch
symbol (Partec Master Cfg-file: Prime mode is preset).
If you will perform the daily check-up please select
the “Calibration Beads” configuration-file. Only in
this configuration file you will find the correct settings for the calibration beads. These settings are
crucial for a correct verification of the instrument performance.
Initialization batch, Work batch and Clean batch
After pressing Start
the system will start the priming process automatically and guide through
the program.
Connect a sample tube with Decontamination Solution (violet solution, Order No. 04-4010), press
“Continue” and wait until the system finished.
