    Open the software, turn on the cytometer and run a Prime, in the Cytometer tab. During the Prime cycle, pay attention to the fluid level in the filter. When the liquid reaches the upper part of the filter, put the rubber insert back and close the vent cap to avoid air leakage. Note: If the vent cap isn’t sealed tightly, leakage of the sheath fluid can occur and result in an unstable flow rate.
