Hi Albert, if you don't like the Aria fluidics cart compressor (it does the job but is rather noisey), you can easily hook up any external clean pressurized air supply to the cart via a reinforced hose and a CPC coupling. The build-in compressor is then switched off via a switch on the cart's side. You can get the right kind of hoses from any hardware store. The coupling I got from the local CPC dealer, but BD can help you find the right one, or even supply it if you ask nicely. I do recommend installing a high-quality oil filter (two-stage) if you take air from an oil compressor. We were surprised just how much oil accumulates from very fine aerosol over failry short periods of time if you run standard filtered air from such a compressor through liquid (which may not be the case in the Aria, but I'm bringing this up because the film builds up visibly on top of the liquid - which is easy to detect).

I talked to BD and they recommended model 6-25 but the tech support could not tell me what other parts I would need to connect the compressor to the Aria nor would he advise a protocol for making that connection. Your comments on part numbers and/or protocol would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Albert Exelixis, Inc.
