Symptom Possible problem Solution
The solvent is incompatible. View a list of incompatible
solvents at the Luminex
Technical Support website -
http://luminexcorp.custhelp.com.
If the solvent you are using is
listed, switch solvents.
You are using incompatible
sheath fluid. Use only Luminex sheath fluid in
the Luminex 200 analyzer. Other
fluids may damage your
analyzer and may void your
warranty.
Luminex SD Problems
If the empty sheath fluid container is not replaced and the system continues to operate, the
Luminex SD system eventually vents pressure to prevent air from being introduced into the
Luminex 200 analyzer. This may interrupt a sample and prevent further samples from being
collected.
Filter
If the filter attached to the sheath intake line becomes clogged from extended use, an alarm
will sound even though the bulk sheath container is not empty. If this happens, replace the
filter, part number CN-0037-01.
Malfunction
If the alarm sounds even though the bulk sheath container has fluid and the sheath filter is in
good condition, the system is reporting a malfunction. If this happens, contact Luminex
Technical Support.
Draining the Reservoir
If you need to ship the Luminex SD system back to Luminex Corporation, drain the reservoir
before you pack the system.
1. Perform a warmup to pressurize the system.
2. Leave the green air tubing connected between the Luminex 200 analyzer and the SD
system.
3. On the SD front panel, disconnect the blue tubing from the intake labeled Sheath Out and
disconnect the white tubing from the intake labeled Sheath In.
4. Insert the white tubing into the intake labeled Sheath Out and insert the blue tubing into
the intake labeled Sheath In.
5. Turn the unit off and then on again.
