3.1 Components of the device
The device contains the flow cuvette, the optics, the fluidics, the computer
unit and data acquisition electronics. No work steps inside the device are
necessary.
The main components of the device are:
Control elements
The device is operated via keyboard and mouse. The On switch is located
on the top, when the display of the device is lifted up. The power switch is
located on the rear side of the device.
Computer interface ports
The computer interface ports connect the device with additional optional
electronic devices. They are located on the left side of the device.
Sheath fluid bottle and waste bottle
The sheath fluid transports the sample flow during the measurement.
The connecting ports for the tubings of the sheath fluid bottle and waste
bottle are located inside the device. The tubings are preinstalled. The sheath
fluid bottle and waste bottle are located in the sliding compartment at the
rear side of the device.
Sample port with electrodes
The sample port is located on the right side of the device.
The sample port holds the sample tube during the measurement. The start
and stop electrodes of the sample port allow the independent determination
of exact 200 μL volume for each sample. The method of True Volumetric
Absolute Counting (TVAC) supported by CyFlow
®
Cube systems is based on
the precise measurement of a fixed sample volume.
