Environmental Controller
The ICELL8 cx unit includes a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller board that monitors the enclosure
temperature, relative humidity (RH) and chip temperature. It adjusts the RH and chip temperature at or near dew
point temperature to minimize evaporation during sample dispensing.
Wash Container
The Wash Container contains 0.2% sodium hypochlorite solution which is used during the tip cleaning steps of
the dispensing protocol to prevent cross-contamination. The sodium hypochlorite solution is pumped from the
Wash Container to the wash station through the pump box.
