Fluidics Cart
A separate fluidics cart supplies sheath and cleaning fluids and collects waste
from the cytometer (Figure 1-2). The self-contained fluidics cart supplies the
required air pressure and vacuum, which eliminates the need for an external
source (although the cart can be hooked up to an in-house air source, if one is
available). The air pumps provide pressure from 2 to 75 psi to accommodate a
variety of cell sorting applications. Air pressure is adjusted within BD FACSDiva
software.
