102 BD LSR II User’s Guide
7 Place a tube containing no more than 1 mL of DI water on the SIP.
A tube with 1 mL of DI water should remain on the SIP to prevent salt
deposits from forming in the injection tube. This tube also catches back
drips from the flow cell.
; Tip Do not leave more than 1 mL of water on the SIP. When the
BD LSR II flow cytometer is turned off or left in STNDBY mode, a small
amount of fluid will drip back into the sample tube. If there is too much fluid
in the tube, it could overflow and affect instrument performance.
8 Set the cytometer to STNDBY mode.
Daily Shutdown
1 Turn off the flow cytometer.
2 Choose Start > Shutdown to turn off the computer, if needed.
; Tip If the instrument will not be used for a week or longer, perform a system
flush (see System Flush on page 103) and leave the fluidics system filled with DI
water to prevent saline crystals from clogging the fluidics.
