Work process

Choose the work batch for measure and acquire of data.

5.3

Shut down process

For the cleaning of the sample port a separate cleaning mode is available. The detail
procedure would be the following:



Select the “CLEAN” batch by clicking on the “CLEAN” batch

symbol



After pressing Start

the system will start the priming process automatically

and guide through the program.



Connect a sample tube with cleaning solution

(green solution, Order No. 04-4009 )

and

press

“Continue”



Connect a sample tube with decontamination solution

(violet solution, Order No. 04-

4010)

and press “Continue”



Connect a sample tube with sheath fluid

(Order No.04-4007)

and press “Continue”
