Fluidics Cart
The fluidics cart provides filtered sheath and cleaning fluids to the cytometer, and
collects system waste products (Figure 1-5). The 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).
