Schematic overview of the acquisition process for all measure modes
Green and red colored bars refer to particle count indicator of CyView.
Please note:
In the measure mode
“VC of Volume” or “Cells in Regions” there is no cleaning cycle.
Subsequently the data can be stored.
In the measure modes “VC electrodes” and “Analyze all” the cleaning
cycle will occur automatically as soon as the sample is finished.
No cleaning cycle will
be started if the measurement is terminated by the “end” button.
Beware:
for all measure modes the sample analysis automatically stops when the sample is empty (the
stop electrode is reached) even if the selected end criteria is not yet realized.
Measure modes
The following measure modes can be selected prior to start of an analysis:
Analyze all
Volumetric counting (VC) of volume
Volumetric counting (VC) electrodes
Cells in region
Analyze all (default selection)
This default mode will allow you to run your sample until its levels reached the stop electrode.
Volumetric Counting with Volume
In the measure mode
volumetric counting with volume
the counting volume is flexible and can be pre-
selected by the user. In a first analysis phase the sample is acquired normally as in continuous acquisition
mode. Reaching the pre-selected volume the data are cleared and the volumetric counting phase starts and
the pre-selected volume will be analyzed. The volume can be used as the basis for concentration
determination.
