Chapter 3 ZE5 Loader
The ZE5™ Cell Analyzer loader provides built-in temperature control (from 4 to 37°C in 1° increments)
as well as variable agitation. Agitation speed is preprogrammed for each media type to ensure that
sample fluid does not spill.
Loader operation is primarily controlled by Everest™ Software. The run list (experiment), which is
guided by the Experiment Builder, defines sample positions and sampling conditions such as
agitation or wash.
To open the loader door and extend the loader, press the silver sample chamber button on the front of
the instrument. The external light turns on when the loader door is opened. The sample chamber
button also controls the inner loader chamber light when the door is closed. Press and hold the button
to turn the internal illumination on or off.
A wash module is integrated into the sample delivery system. The sample probe moves up and down
through the wash station to expose contaminated regions of the probe to wash fluid. You can use
Everest Software to control wash times for the inside of the sample line and the outside of the sample
