Sheath and waste containers
Introduction This topic describes the sheath and waste containers. The sheath
and waste containers are outside the cytometer and are positioned
on the floor. The sheath and waste containers should remain in the
installed position. Moving them to a different height (for example,
from the floor to a bench) changes the flow rate.
Note: If you are using the FFSS, see the documentation provided.
Sheath container The sheath container has a capacity of 10 L. Sheath fluid is filtered
through an in-line, interchangeable filter that prevents small
particles from entering the sheath fluid lines. An alarm sounds
when the container is empty.
Waste container The waste container has a capacity of 10 L. An alarm sounds when
the container is empty.
More information • Preparing the sheath container (page 35)
• Preparing the waste container (page 40)

• Fluidic alarms and the Mode button (page 25)
Caution! Do not fill the sheath tank to its maximum
capacity. When an overfull tank is pressurized, erratic
cytometer performance can result.
