The FACS Aria III can be operated by trained users, all new users must participate on a two-day training program.
The FACS Aria III cell sorter can be used 24/7. However, facility staff is only available during normal university work hours (8:00-16:00) for help.
Fluidics Startup:
While last user of the week has to perform Fluidics Shutdown (see below), first user of next week has to perform Fluidics Startup.
Daily cleaning:
After your analysis is completed, please follow the protocol:
- 5 min FACS Clean, - 5 min FACS Rinse, - 5 min DW
Daily Shutdown or “End of the day” cleaning:
Last user of the day has to perform according to the following protocol:
Daily cleaning + 2 sets of Clean Flow Cell method (FACS Clean, FACS Rinse, DW)
Weekly Shutdown:
Last user of the week (usually on Friday) has to perform “Fluidics Shutdown”.
Data management and storage:
It is the responsibility of all registered users to copy their data to a secondary computer device. You can bring your flash drive to transfer data.
After copying your data please leave only.
