  • Page 82 4 Operation of NC-View™ Software and NucleoCounter® NC-202™ Instrument 4.2.1 Piston movements When a cassette is analyzed, the piston motor will move the piston rod down through the cassette cylinder. Hereby, the sample is transported to the cassette’s measurement chamber while sensors monitor the sample flow. When the sample has been loaded into the measurement chamber and reaches the end of the flow channel, the piston is stopped.
