Appendix B: Depot Repair Procedures 163
Use a 10% bleach solution to decontaminate the internal fluidics and external
surfaces of the HTS unit.

2 Carefully add 5 mL of undiluted bleach to the same beaker.
3 Gently swirl the solution to mix.
Decontaminating the Fluidics Manually
Materials Needed
• household bleach
• DI water
• disposable plastic pipettes
• line declogger, PN 343583 from the accessories kit (for manual fluidics
decontamination only)
Cleaning the Fluidics
Perform this procedure to decontaminate the internal fluidics of a non-functional
HTS unit.
1 Remove the sample probe and tubing that connects the probe to the
primary pump; discard the probe and tubing (Figure B-3 on page 164).
To prevent shock, verify that the cytometer is turned off and the power
cable is detached before you start cleaning.
To ensure that the 10% bleach solution retains its full germicidal effect,
prepare a fresh solution daily.
