JPBDS Version
Don’t
waste
waste
bottles.
Many
waste
bottles
for
the
fluid
transfer
system
are
broken because operators
try to pull them straight
out. Pull them out gently
at an angle. If the bottles
are cracked, they leak,
which leads to corrosion
in the basic biological
suite unit.
Be
a
good
housekeeper.
Clean up any spills inside the
shelter ASAP. Moisture trapped
in the shelter quickly leads to
corrosion. Keep the shelter door
closed as much as possible and
vacuum daily while operating.
The more dirt that is in the
shelter, the more likely dirt will
clog the air passages of the BIDS
equipment and cause failures and
bad readings.
P3I Version
Don’t
rush
shutdown.
If you just shut down the
P3I
without
following
the
complete
shutdown
procedure,
you’ll
have
all sorts of problems next
time you crank up BIDS.
A
complete
shutdown
automatically purges the lines
to the mini-flow cytometer
and liquid sampler. If liquid
is left in the lines, it can freeze
and/or clog the valves, leading
to a big mess.
Same thing happens if you
leave the sheath tank installed
at
shutdown.
Fluid
clogs
the valves and plugs up the
±lters.
