Replacing Quick-Connector O-Rings
The sheath and waste lines are attached to the cytometer interface panel and the
HTS unit using quick-connectors. There is an additional waste line attached to
the cytometer waste tank using a quick-connector. Replace the quick-connector
O-rings once a year or whenever a connector is leaking.
1 Disconnect the quick-connector.
2 Remove the O-ring using a flat, small screwdriver.

Replacing SIT Protector and O-Ring (BD LSR II Only)
The SIT protector is a modified sleeve that prevents the sample injection tube
from bending during installation of the HTS sample coupler. An O-ring between
the SIT protector and the tube retainer keeps the protector in place. Replace the
O-ring when the SIT protector slips down by itself.
All cytometer surfaces that come in contact with biological specimens can
transmit potentially fatal disease. Use universal precautions when changing
O-rings. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
