Installing the HTS Unit
Follow this procedure to install your replacement HTS unit.
1 To avoid damaging the HTS probe:
The unit is encased in plastic to protect it during shipment. The plastic can
make the cytometer slippery and difficult to grasp. To prevent personal
injury or damage to the cytometer, use caution when lifting the cytometer
out of the container.
Any cytometer surface that comes in contact with biological specimens can
transmit potentially fatal disease. Use universal precautions when handling
cytometer hardware. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
