Surface Inspection and Cleaning
• Use BD FACSClean (or a 10% bleach solution) followed by DI water to
wipe down the HTS enclosure and cover on a monthly basis, or when
needed.
• Inspect the pump syringes for leaks and tighten fittings, if required. See
Inspecting Thumbscrew Fittings on page 142.
Periodic Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance of your HTS system, replace the following
cytometer components according to the recommended replacement schedule in
Table 4-1. Note that the extent of maintenance will vary depending on how much
you use your system. Use the schedule in Table 4-1 as a guideline.
A maintenance log is provided in Appendix A to keep track of when each
procedure is performed.
All cytometer surfaces that come in contact with biological specimens can
transmit potentially fatal disease. Use universal precautions when handling
cytometer surfaces. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
