Programs
Apart from the button programs, BactoBox® has a few specialized programs.
Click the tabs to read more about the available programs.
Select Conductivity to run a conductivity check.
The device reports electrical conductivity (EC) in µS/cm. The value is not temperature-compensated.
Run Deep clean to remove hard-to-clean deposits in the liquid path.
See Deep clean explained.
See QC test.
Use Custom measurement for special gating settings (for example, endospores).
Create custom programs in BactoBox Explorer. Upload them via Access.
Use Measure with low conductivity when you need extra contrast between intact cells and background.
The program uses 1-in-20 PBS. This can improve phase shift separation. It may reduce signal-to-noise ratio.
