Flow Cell Label
One or more flow cell labels are present on the flow cell, which contain
information such as flow cell type, part number, and serial number.
Flow Cell Identification Chip
An identification (ID) chip on the flow cell stores information, including
the flow cell type and the serial number of the flow cell. The ID chip also
stores data during operation, such as the exposure time to the light.
When the flow cell is installed, the detector reads the data from the chip
and transfers the flow cell data to the Chromeleon software.
Heat exchanger
Standard flow cells and semi-micro flow cells are equipped with a built-
in heat exchanger.
