Daily Shutdown
Procedures
Sanitize the
System
Sanitize the system with 10% to 20% household bleach to
decontaminate the sample lines and the cuvette after biohazard
contact. You should sanitize as part of your daily shutdown routine
after biohazard contact. Sanitizing uses the Luminex XYP reservoir
location because only the reservoir can accommodate the amount of
fluid necessary to sanitize the instrument.
‹
To sanitize the fluidics in the analyzer:
1. On the Maintenance tab, click Eject/Retract.
2. Put the bleach solution in the reservoir.
3. Click OK. The plate holder retracts, and the system performs the
Sanitize command.
4. Run two Wash commands.
