PIXUL Components Overview

(1) Main Power Button: Press to turn on the PIXUL instrument. Power switch on back side of the

PIXUL instrument must be turned on first .

(2) Touchscreen User Interface: Will initiate once main power button is pressed. Use the touch-

screen to circulate the PIXUL Coupling Fluid, select sonication parameters, monitor Coupling Fluid

temperature, and monitor the time remaining for the run.

(3) Exterior Lid: Lift to install sample plate. Lid must remain down during sonication run. The lid

can be removed to aid in cleaning. To remove, simply open the lid fully and lift straight up from

the center of the lid.

(4) Pressure Distribution Lid: Sits directly on top of the sample plate and is secured down with

the plate-securing rods.

(5) Plate-Securing Rods: Once the sample plate has been placed with well A1 in the upper left

corner and covered with the pressure distribution lid, clip these rods down to secure the plate

prior to closing the exterior lid.

(6) Coupling Fluid Reservoir: Lift cap to fill reservoir with PIXUL Coupling Fluid (approximately 0.5

L capacity). Add Coupling Fluid periodically to maintain the minimum level (about one inch below

the top of the reservoir). Drain old Coupling Fluid and add new Coupling Fluid every two months.

(7) Drain: To drain PIXUL Coupling Fluid from the Coupling Fluid reservoir, ensure that no plate is

installed. Then, connect the drainage tubing to the drain. Coupling Fluid should begin to flow.
