The message at the top reflects the current status of the Luminex
analyzer.
Ready: Indicates that the Luminex analyzer is ready to collect data.
Pressure: Pressure normally displays during a routine pressure
check at the beginning of each run. However, if the pressure message
remains for more than 1.5 minutes, a lack of pressure exists in the
system. Check for the following problems:
• Low sheath fluid
• Loose hose connections
• Loose cap on sheath fluid bottle.
• Leak in sheath fluid container, tubing, or bubble trap
Not Ready: Normally indicates that the analyzer is initializing.
Busy: Indicates an intermediate state between Standby and Ready.
Standby: Shows that the flow of sheath fluid stopped; the system is
idle.
Bad Link: The communication between the analyzer and the
computer is not working. Check that:
• The analyzer is powered on.
• The cables between the analyzer communications port and
computer are properly installed.
If the situation has been corrected, restart the Luminex software
application to reinitialize this link.
Warm Up: Indicates a 30-minute warmup of the analyzer’s optics.
While powered, the optics remain active for four hours after each
acquisition.
Running: Indicates that the Luminex analyzer is collecting data.
Sample empty: Indicates an empty sample syringe. The system
automatically cancels data collection and adds a comment in the
notes section.
Connect: Indicates that the communication between the analyzer
and the computer was broken, then re-established. You must restart
the Luminex software application to reinitialize communication
links.
Sheath fluid: Indicates empty sheath fluid. Fill the sheath fluid
container before continuing.
