NOTE Make sure the blue sheath fluid line between the sheath tank and the
cytometer does not come into contact with anything that could introduce
vibration that might affect the stability of the stream.
Refilling the Sheath Tank
The fluid level in the pressurized stainless steel sheath tank should be checked
often and refilled when low. The startup times for the breakoff stream will
increase when the tank is low.
NOTE If the cytometer is run until the sheath supply is too low, the system will
turn off the stream.
