Section 4 Getting Started
4.1 Selecting the Location of the Universal Hood
Since the Universal Hood has a complete fluorescence and chemiluminescence darkroom, it can
be placed on any bench top. You should place the hood near the computer with the software that
will control it. It is recommended that a trained Bio-Rad representative install this unit.
4.2 Assembling the System

connections are made.
e) Open the front door of the cabinet and remove the camera bracket by unscrewing the two
wing nuts from the left panel. Be careful to avoid any damage to the UV transilluminator
