Filling the Sheath

Fill the sheath container with manufacturer-provided sheath solution, MilliQ™ water, phosphate-
buffered saline (PBS), or DI water.
Sheath can be drawn from either the supplied 4-L sheath tank or directly from a 20-L cubitainer.
Sheath solution can be added to the sheath container while the instrument is running. The plenum
provides 5 minutes of run time at any flow rate while the tank is being filled or replaced.
Before turning on the cytometer, visually inspect all containers. Wear the recommended
protective laboratory attire such as protective gloves, eyewear, and lab coat.
Fill the sheath container as needed. Use only the appropriate sheath solution. Never
use tap water in the sheath container.
