Chapter 6 Daily Routine
This chapter explains the tasks that you must perform either on a daily basis or on each day that the
ZE5â„¢ Cell Analyzer system is used. Ensure that an administrator has already set up the system
according to the instructions in Chapter 5, Configuring the System.
Although the daily startup, quality control, and shutdown procedures can be automated, Bio-Rad
recommends that you familiarize yourself with the ZE5 Cell Analyzer and Everestâ„¢ Software by
reading the following chapters before you begin to use the instrument:
n Chapter 2, Hardware Description
n Chapter 3, ZE5 Loader
n Chapter 4, Everest Software
n Chapter 7, Creating Experiments and Workspaces
n Chapter 8, Acquiring Samples
n Chapter 10, Analyzing, Saving, and Printing Data
System Power
Do not turn off the ZE5 Cell Analyzer system by using the main power switch. The system is safe in
standby mode after a software shutdown. This facilitates quick or automated startup. If you do need to
turn instrument power off, shut down Everest Software first.
If the instrument is shut off using the main power switch, always power the instrument on before
starting Everest Software. The instrument must be running so that Everest Software can communicate
with it.
Important: Powering the system on or off incorrectly can cause the instrument to malfunction.
For information on the power switch, see Power and Communication Connections on page 26. For
information on shutting down Everest Software, see Shutting Down on page 161.
