The fluidics drawer holds the sheath and waste reservoirs. Both reservoirs have
level sensors that indicate fluid levels via BD CellQuest™ Pro software.
Figure 1-5 Fluidics Drawer
• The 4-L sheath reservoir is secured by a metal bracket, which prevents the
reservoir from expanding while under pressure. It holds enough fluid for
approximately 3 hours of operation. Fluid is filtered through the sheath
filter before it reaches the flow cell.
• The 4-L waste reservoir collects fluid waste from the flow cell.
