88 BD FACSCanto Flow Cytometer Reference Manual
Replacing the Fluidics Level Sensors
Replace the fluidics level sensors when instructed to do so by a BD Biosciences
service representative. Before you replace a sensor, try rinsing it with DI water.
Materials
• replacement fluidics sensor probe—see Other Replacement Parts on
page 129 for ordering
• proper protective equipment
If you are changing the sensor on the waste tank, use proper precaution and
wear suitable protective clothing, eyewear, and gloves. All biological
specimens, and materials coming into contact with them, can transmit
potentially fatal disease.
The waste tank can become pressurized when the cytometer is running.
Always disconnect the tank from the fluidics cart and wait at least 30
seconds for pressure to dissipate before you remove the level sensor cap.
