Calibrating the Cytometer
When the SpectraMax MiniMax Imaging Cytometer is first installed, the well image
needs to be calibrated. This procedure can be done only by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
The instrument can be damaged if the transport locks are not
removed before the instrument is powered on. See
Transmitted Light (TL) Detection Cartridge
To do brightfield, transmitted-light imaging, you must install the
SpectraMax Transmitted Light (TL) Detection Cartridge in the detection cartridge drawer.
The Transmitted Light (TL) Detection Cartridge provides white LED illumination for
transmitted-light imaging when used with the SpectraMax MiniMax Imaging Cytometer.
The StainFree™ Cell Detection Algorithm eliminates cell staining for cell counting and
confluency measurements using proprietary transmitted light analysis technology.
The Transmitted Light (TL) Detection Cartridge occupies one (1) slot in the detection
cartridge drawer.
You can create protocols that use the Transmitted Light (TL) Detection Cartridge in the
SoftMax Pro Software.
You can use the Protocol Manager in the SoftMax Pro Software to quickly find and open
a predefined protocol.
More protocols and updated protocols can be downloaded from the Knowledge Base on
the Molecular Devices support web site (
www.moleculardevices.com/support.html
) or
from the protocol sharing web site (
