Chapter 4: Maintenance 57
Purging the Fluidics Filters
Once a week, purge air from all fluid filters by opening the bleeder valve on the
top of each filter, one at a time. This ensures that the filters will not dry out.
NOTICE The cytometer must be on (system pressurized) during this procedure.
Materials
• paper towels
• proper protective equipment
Procedure
1 Run the Prime After Tank Refill for all fluids to ensure fluid lines are
primed.
See Priming Fluidics Lines on page 71.
2 Place a few paper towels beneath the filter to be purged to absorb any fluid
leakage.
