Priming the fluid system
Select and perform all prime sequences manually. Check fluid flow through the applicable tubing. repeat a step if fluid flow is not correct.
- , activates pump A. must flow through the pipette.
- , activates pump B. Liquid must flush through the needle assembly.
- , activates the diluter prime cycle. Diluter system must be filled with diluent and free of air bubbles.
Diluter prime cycle is executed once. In order to fully prime the system it will be necessary to perform this step several times. (One cycle is 5 strokes of the Diluter) - , activates the fill nozzle water valve. De-ionized water must flow through the tube connected to the fill nozzle cap.
- , activates the disinfectant valve. Disinfectant must flow through the small tube connected to the pipette wash station.
When the Starrsed TL has been idle for more than eight hours, there might be some backflow of reagents due to gravity. Prime all tubing before sampling by using the function:
All priming functions are sequentially performed one time.
