For Research Use Only. Not Intended For Diagnostic Purposes.
Ethernet Connectors
– The Ethernet connection is located on the rear panel. The instrument must be connected to
a network server via the 1 gigabit Ethernet port before system operation can begin. This port is provided for data
archival and subsequent in-depth data analysis with BioNano Genomics IrysView software suite. Data archival
can be automated or done manually depending upon user preference.
Note:
The
user’s network may need to be pre-configured to allow instrument to successfully connect to
network. This will be coordinated before installation with the Field Service Engineer.

1.
Ultra-low noise EM-CCD camera
EM-CCD camera has single photon detection capability combined with > 90% QE (quantum efficiency). This frame
transfer format delivers unequalled thermoelectric cooling, industry-lowest clock induced charge noise, and
operates at 35 frames/sec (full resolution) while offering distinct speed advantages and minimizes vertical smear.
2.
High Speed Filter Wheel
A high-performance servo motor with rare-earth magnets and backlash-free power transfer with filter distance
travels at 23 to 30 microseconds between positions.
3.
Automated XY Stage
Stages with slotted base plates and dovetail slides designed to reduce shock and vibration provide greater stability.
4.
Lasers
Laser platform is made of component-based lasers at 473 nanometer wavelength and an integrated controller and
power source. Beam asymmetry is <= 1:1.2, with a beam divergence of < 1.1 and a pointing stability of < 30 urads
(after two hours of warm-up). Peak to peak noise is < 0.5% megahertz (after five minutes of warm-up). Laser beam
safety is Class 3B with a Level 4 electrostatic discharge protection. Laser optimal temperature operating conditions
are 10 to 50°C with a shock tolerance of 30 grams/6 microseconds.
