without the hyphen.
Figure 3. Serial Number prompt.
4. Line up the dovetail on the Flow Cell with the dovetail on the Detector Module, and gently slide the Flow Cell
into place (see Figure 4). DO NOT FORCE THE CELL IF IT DOES NOT SLIDE EASILY. Remove the Flow Cell and try
again, ensuring both sides of the Flow Cell are engaged with the Detector Module. For assistance in mounng
