Make sure the center stream image does not move after the plates are
turned on. Major movement of the center stream could indicate that the
plates or area around the plates needs cleaning. See External Cleaning on
page 180.
4 Turn on Test Sort and optimize the side streams. See Figure 5-2.
Adjust the voltage sliders to view the required number of streams.
Before installing the tube holder, ensure that an O-ring is installed in the
groove on top of the tube holder. The O-ring minimizes the chance of
aerosols escaping. It can be found in the accessory kit (Catalog No.
337897).
