1. Sheath fluid harness. Connects to the sheath fluid cubitainer; conveys the sheath fluid into the
instrument. The sheath fluid harness includes the a level sensor, sheath fluid tubing, and backflush
tubing. The other end of the harness is connected to the Fluidics module in the Cytometer. When the
sheath fluid cubitainer is near empty, a warning notice is transmitted to the instrument and an audible
signal sounds as a warning.
2. Sheath fluid cubitainer. 10 L capacity, for holding sheath fluid. Beckman Coulter recommends using
CytoFLEX Sheath Fluid or a similar nonionic sheath fluid to ensure system performance.
NOTE
3. Waste harness. Connects to the waste fluid cubitainer; conveys the waste fluid from the instrument to
the waste cubitainer. The waste harness includes a level sensor. The other end of the harness is
connected to the Fluidics module in the Cytometer. When the waste fluid cubitainer is near full, a
warning notice is transmitted to the instrument and audible signal sounds as a warning.
4. Waste cubitainer. 10 L capacity, for holding waste liquids. Attention to biosafety and waste labeling is
required.
NOTE
Fluid Containers/Cubitainers
On the CytoFLEX, two Fluid Containers are placed in the Fluid Container holder: a sheath fluid
container and a waste container. See
placed to the left side of the instrument: a sheath fluid cubitainer and a waste cubitainer. Each
container/cubitainer cap is fitted with a harness and a level sensor. The blue harness connects to
the sheath fluid container/cubitainer while the yellow harness connects to the waste container/
cubitainer. The containers/cubitainers do not require additional pressure inside. Take all necessary
biosafety precautions and use proper personal protective equipment when handling the Fluid
Containers/Cubitainers.

The sheath fluid cubitainer must be on the same level as the Cytometer.
The waste cubitainer must be on the same level as the Cytometer.
