3.9. Cleaning process
The pump aspirates the cleaner through the V5 (On), V2 (On), V4 (On) and V10 (On) valves to
puffer the cleaner reagent in the tubes between V7 and V4.
After that the Macro syringe pushes the cleaner reagent remaining in the tube between V10 and
V4 into the chamber. The liquid detector (Diluent & Cleaner detector) can detect the presence /
absence of cleaner solution.
3.10. Shutdown process
The fluidic shutdown performs the following steps:
Priming chamber with reagent to avoid drying out of aperture
Sampling needle is positioned above counting chamber, needle up
Lyse and Lyse EOS syringes are positioned up
Diluent syringes are positioned down
Sample rotor moved out
