Recommendations
• The sample volume is not less than 850 µl (minimum for TVAC).
• Use flow rates between 0.5 - 5 µl/s for sample measurements.
The optimal flow rates depends on the application.
• Use the same flow rate for pre-measure and measure phase to avoid fluidic
turbulences.
Requirements
• The sample is prepared for measurement.
• The Sheath Fluid bottle is filled.
• The Waste bottle is not full.
• “Sample Port” in Settings - Measure Mode - Sample Source is selected.
