2 Preparing the Cedex HiRes Analyzer for Measurements
2.1 Working with the Multi Sampler
Moving parts of the Multi Sampler may cause hand injuries. The Multi Sampler needle may cause
injuries during operation. Never use the Cedex HiRes Analyzer without the protective cover in place for the
Multi Sampler.
The Multi Sampler is part of the Cedex HiRes Analyzer, and automatically conveys up to 20 cell suspension
samples in sequence to the Cedex HiRes Analyzer for analysis.
Inserting the Multi Sample Tray
To insert the Multi Sample Tray, gently insert the tray into the notch until the automatic tray rope starts pulling
it into the Analyzer, as shown:
Ejecting the Multi Sample Tray
To eject the Multi Sample Tray, gently push on the right-hand corner of the tray when the system is idle. The
tray cannot be ejected if the system is moving or the needle is down in a cup.
Press to eject
The Multi Sampler DefaultCup
A Cedex Sample Cup is required for performing liquid management routines, such as Prime, LM Shutdown,
calibration, and cleaning routines. The position of the Cedex Sample Cup used for all liquid management
routines is called the DefaultCup position. The standard (default) position for the DefaultCup is position 1
of the Multi Sample Tray. The DefaultCup position can be changed (see Modifying the Standard Setting for the
Multi Sampler DefaultCup in the Cedex HiRes Analyzer Operator’s Guide).
