HTS Removal and Reinstallation
Before performing replacement procedures, remove the HTS from the cytometer.
Pay particular attention to the following:
• Always disconnect electrical connections (interlock cable and interface
cable) and fluidic connections (waste, sheath, and sample injection tubing
(SIT)).
• The waste and sheath fittings on the back side of the HTS can easily be
broken when moving the HTS away from the cytometer while these fittings
are connected. Move the HTS just enough (approximately 2 inches) to
provide the room necessary to disconnect the waste and sheath fittings
from the HTS.
