Be certain to orient the "slot end" correctly on reassembly. Remove the old tubing, removing tubing retainers as required.
Repower the instrument, if necessary. From the Service menu, Monitor tab, check pump function for proper flow direction. Also listen for any unusual sounds that suggest strain on the pump motor. This may indicate binding or twisting of the newly installed tubing. 9.6.1.2 Solenoid Valve Tubing Replacement Before changing solenoid valve tubing first study the tubing placement carefully.
Instrument Storage If the 2900 Series is not going to be used for 2 weeks or longer, remove the buffer and calibrator solutions from the bottles and replace them with deionized or distilled water. Flush the water through the system thoroughly, empty the bottles, reinstall them in the instrument and prime the system with air.

12.1 Enzyme Sensor Technology The enzyme sensor technology of the 2900 Series is based on the principles conceived by Dr. Leland Clark, formerly of Children’s Hospital Foundation, Cincinnati, Ohio. The immobilized enzyme membrane was invented by YSI and is covered by U.S. Patent 4,073,713. This sensor technology has been used successfully since 1975.
12.3 Measurement Methodology The 2900 Series employs a steady state measurement methodology. A typical enzyme sensor response is shown in Error! Reference source not found.. Typical Enzyme Sensor Response Figure 12.2 When sample or calibration standard is dispensed into the sample module, it is diluted into 600 microliters of buffer.
The sensors’ net value for a calibration (PL) is displayed and printed. An unstable calibration is displayed and printed as a "PL shift". While establishing a stable calibration, the 2900 Series will run 5 calibrations before aborting calibration for a sensor. The flexible parameter selection allows the user to disable this error mode.
