Instrument starting procedure

Sheath fluid level control and/or refill

Before switching
recommended to check the levels of the sheath
fluid and waste bottles. They can be found at the
back-left of the
compartment.
Make sure SHEATH bottle is filled with 800 ml of
clean, filtered, and degassed sheath fluid and is
closed with the screw top. In order to guarantee
highest quality of the measurements we highly
recommend use Partec Sheath Fluid (order no.
04-4007).
It is recommended to replace the sheath fluid at
least once a week or before any daily use.
When filling up the sheath fluid bottle make sure
no air bubbles are trapped in the yellow filter unit
inside the bottle!
Make sure WASTE bottle is empty and the screw
top is tightly closed.
The waste bottle must be emptied after and
before each user session. When using bio-
hazardeous samples, a volume of 50 ml of
hypochlorite 0.5% (Order No 04-4012) should be
introduce into the empty waste bottle for initial
disinfection.
