n
Two waste bottles

One additive bottle
These bottles require maintenance on a regular basis.
Before logging in, click the Details down arrow to examine the fluidics status, including the estimated
remaining run time with the current bottle levels. Ensure that the waste bottles are sufficiently empty
and the sheath fluid bottles are sufficiently full, but not overfull.
After logging in, you can check fluidics status from the toolbar. For more information, see the list of
fluidics status items in
The pair of bottles illuminated by the green LEDs in the bulk fluidics chamber is in use, as shown in
the next figure. The pair that is not illuminated is the pair that can be emptied of waste or filled with DI
water during operation.
Important: Ensure that replacement bottles are securely connected so that the system can
transition to them.
