5. Keeping the filter assembly level, push it straight into the instrument. The right bobbin will move
to the right as the filter assembly is inserted. The filter assembly is completely seated when the
right bobbin moves back to the left and the two front bobbins hold the filter assembly in the pro-
cessor. Refer to Figure 5B-7.
When properly loaded, the filter cap is level inside the instrument and the filter cylinder is above
the PreservCyt sample vial holder and slightly to the left. If the positioning of the filter assembly
does not correspond to this description, remove it and try again. The filter assembly will easily
rotate in the bobbins when properly seated.
