Drain Used during troubleshooting to help remove debris from the bottom
of the cuvette. When draining, you do not need to supply solution.
Draining takes approximately two minutes and should be followed
by an alcohol flush with 70% isopropanol or 70% ethanol. Any fluid
that drains from the system drains to the Luminex XYP reservoir as
the default. However, you can set the system to drain to any unused
well on the microtiter plate. The drain function normally expels 125
µL of fluid.
Eject/Retract If the XYP plate is retracted, this command ejects the microtiter
plate. If the XYP plate is already ejected, this command retracts the
plate.
