11.1
Fluids
Fluid system Completely closed system for sheath fluid and
sample volumes;
no fluid droplets or aerosols generated nor released
from the device
Flow cuvette Synthetic quartz flow cuvette with small centric flow
channel (capillary diameter 350 µm x 250 µm) for
laminar sample transport with sheath fluid.
Sample delivery Computer controlled precision syringe pump for
contamination-free sample transport.
Built-in vacuum pump for waste bottle; vacuum
pressure is adjustable (computer controlled)
Sample volume Continuous up to 1200 μl
Minimal content of sample volume 850 μl
200 μl for electrode based precision absolute
counting (other counting volumes upon request)
Minimal sampling volume 10 μl
5 µl to 1000 μl for syringe-based precision absolute
counting
Flow rates Sample volume speed adjustable continuously
between 0.1 µl/s and 20 μl/s)
Sheath fluid flow continuously adjustable in expert
mode
Fluids volume 2 glass bottles (each litre) for sheath fluid and waste
Bio safety system Avoids sample droplets and sample cross
contamination (computer controlled)
