1 Perform the monthly cleaning procedure to decontaminate the sample
injection port/wash station.
See Monthly Cleaning on page 111.
2 Turn off the HTS power switch (BD LSR II and BD FACSCanto), or turn
off the cytometer (BD FACSCanto II).
3 For easy access, remove the HTS unit.
See Removing the HTS Unit on page 159 for instructions.
