System Maintenance

This chapter describes the procedures to maintain NovoCyte Quanteon flow
cytometer, including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

It is important to conduct the instrument maintenance on a regular basis in order
to achieve the optimal performance for the instrument and obtain reliable data.
Agilent flow cytometer incorporates automatic procedures for maintenances as
much as possible in order to bring conveniences to the users and save them
valuable time. Most maintenance procedures will be automatically executed,
eliminating the time-consuming manual maintenances.

Scheduled Maintenance

The following maintenance should be conducted on regular basis.

Table 9 Scheduled Maintenance and Recommended Frequency

Maintenance

Recommended Maintenance Frequency

Daily Start-up

Daily. Automatic system cleaning during start-up.

Daily Shutdown

Daily. Automatic system cleaning and
decontamination during shutdown.

Add instrument reagents (NovoFlow sheath fluid,
NovoRinse solution, and NovoClean solution)

As needed. Check the instrument reagent volume
in the containers before each experiment and add
more reagents when necessary.

Empty Waste

As needed. Check waste volume before each
experiment and empty waste container when
necessary.

Preventive Maintenance

•

Clean the sample injection probe (SIP)

•

Clean the SIP cleaning apparatus

•

Unclog the flow cell

•

Sterilize instrument reagent containers

Every month.
