Running UV Sanitise Processes
The UV Sanitise process uses ultra-violet light to sanitize the instrument interior. Before running
a UV Sanitise process, Molecular Devices recommends that you manually clean the instrument
interior.
To run the UV Sanitise process:
1. From the Navigation window under Utility Processes, double-click
Instrument
Utilities.
2. In the Instrument Utilities window, double-click UV Sanitise.
3. In the UV Sanitise window, select a Sanitise Profile type the duration in seconds for the UV
light to remain on. The default duration is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
4. Confirm that the bed is clear, and that the door is closed.
Tip: The door locks automatically while the UV light is on for added safety. The door
is made from acrylic, which prevents UV light from passing through during operation.
CAUTION! Prolonged UV light exposure can damage the Bio Imaging tray.
5. Click Begin to turn the UV light on, and then wait for the UV light to turn off.
If you must stop the process before the time allotted, click Stop to turn off the UV light.
6. When you are finished, click Next.
