Starting and Monitoring the Sort
1 Open the sort collection chamber door and install the collection tubes,
plate, or slide.
2 Install the sample tube onto the loading port and click Load.
3 Adjust the flow rate.
Sorting results are typically optimized at lower flow rates.
4 (Optional) Turn on the deflection plates and open the aspirator drawer.
The deflection plates turn off automatically each time a tube is unloaded. If
you do not turn them back on before beginning a sort, a dialog appears
where you can turn on the plates and open the aspirator drawer by clicking
OK.
5 Verify that the current tube pointer is indicating the appropriate tube in the
Browser, then click Sort.
6 Click OK if you are prompted to open the aspirator drawer or turn on the
deflection plates.
If you click Cancel, sorting will begin with the deflection plates off and the
drawer closed. As a result, sort populations will be identified and counted,
but no deflection (or sorting) will occur. If you sort with the drawer closed,
events will be sorted to waste.
