Learning The Basic Operating Techniques

Before reading the other chapters in this manual:

•

Read about the

Cytometer Control

screens.

•

Read this chapter to become experienced with using the MCL.

Practice the basic techniques until you feel comfortable using them. If, later on, you need to use a
basic technique but cannot remember how, use the System Help Index or Search tab to look it up
and get the step-by-step instructions.

MCL Carousels

The Navios Flow Cytometry System starter kit has:

•

Two carousels, each with 32 tube positions.

•

A sheet of bar-code labels, numbered 01 to 99, for you to use to identify the carousels.

Bar-Code Labels

You can put a bar-code label on each sample tube. See

APPENDIX A, Bar-code Specifications

for

additional information.

NOTE

Bar-code labels are not required on sample tubes for system operation.
