Fluidics Cart
A separate fluidics cart supplies sheath and cleaning fluids and collects waste
from the cytometer. The self-contained fluidics cart supplies the required air
pressure and vacuum, which eliminates the need for an external source (although
the cart can be hooked up to an in-house air source, if one is available). The air
pumps provide pressure from 5 to 75 psi to accommodate a variety of cell sorting
applications. Air pressure is adjusted within BD FACSDiva software.
Containers and Connectors
The fluidics cart holds a 10-L stainless steel sheath tank, a 5-L stainless steel
ethanol shutdown tank, a 10-L waste container, and three 5-L auxiliary cleaning
fluid containers (Figure 1-2).
