Accepted Answer

Priming the Leica ST 5020 is an essential step to ensure the proper functioning of the device by ensuring that fluids circulate correctly and that no air bubbles disrupt the process. Here’s how to proceed:

Steps to prime the Leica ST 5020

Device preparation: Make sure the device is clean and that all necessary components are in place.
Checking fluid levels: Ensure that the reservoirs containing the inclusion media or other reagents are filled to the recommended levels.
Power on: Turn on the Leica ST 5020 and allow it to fully initialize.
Accessing the priming function: Navigate through the device menu to select the priming option, often indicated by "Prime" or a similar term.
Starting the priming: Start the process. The device will then circulate the fluid through the circuits to eliminate air bubbles and ensure a steady flow.
