Check Fluid Levels
Check the sheath and waste fluids daily, more often if you run
several samples. Replace the sheath fluid and empty the waste
container as needed. You must manually monitor the sheath fluid and
waste container levels. Release the Luminex analyzer’s pressure by
removing the lid from the sheath fluid container. Add sheath fluid,
filling the sheath fluid container to just below the air intake. Discard
waste by appropriate means. After you add sheath fluid and discard
the waste, remove air from the lines by clicking Prime until no more
air shows in the lines.

Sanitize

You should sanitize the system on a monthly basis and every
time you run biological samples.
1. Perform four Wash cycles using distilled water.
2. Dispense 1.2 mL of a fresh 10%-20% bleach solution into a
sample tube. Place the tube into the sample tube holder, and
begin the Sanitize cycle.
Note: In the event of a leak or spill
inside the analyzer, make sure the
power to the system is off and that
the power cord is disconnected
from the wall source.
