Hi to all

This is a question for FacSort users.  How do you keep the sort lines 
from getting clogged.  Our Facsort is in a Core Lab. The sorting sistem 
is used only once a month.  The users are trained to clean the lines 
after sorting the samples  and I clean them during monthly cleaning.  
What we are finding is that the sort lines are not clogged but the valve 
block on the collection station is blocked.  I had to dismount it to 
remove the clog that was impeding the smple to pass to the collection tubes.
Should  I clean it more often?  Is this a common problem of the FacSort? 
Email me directly at:  L_Diaz@rcmad.upr.clu.edu
I will appreciate any help.
