Unpacking/packing instructions
Note that a personal computer is not provided by Thermo Fisher
Scientific. A PC is required for full use of the PikoReal functionalities.
For recommended PC requirements, refer to the
PikoReal Software User
Manual (Cat. no. N12076).
Visually inspect the transport package, the instrument and the
accessories for any possible damage. If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative or Thermo
Fisher Scientific Oy.
When setting up your PikoReal Real-Time PCR System, avoid locations
with excessive dust, vibrations, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight,
draft, excessive moisture or large temperature fluctuations.
The instrument will perform optimally and exhibit the highest reliability
within the recommended environmental ranges (Table 3–2). Although
the instrument is rated to operate reliably within the absolute
environmental ranges, avoid the extremes to best preserve the long-term
performance and life span of the instrument.
Table 3–2. Operating conditions
Environmental condition Absolute ranges Recommended ranges
Ambient temperature 5–30°C 15–25°C
Ambient relative humidity below 80% below 50%
Altitude below 2000 m below 1000 m
Make sure that:
●
The working area is flat, dry, clean and vibration-proof, and leaves
additional room for cables, covers, etc.
●
There is sufficiently room behind the instrument to enable
disconnecting the device.
●
The ambient air is clean and free of corrosive vapors, smoke and
dust.
●
The ambient temperature range is b5°C and +30°C.
●
The humidity is low so that condensation does not occur (relative
humidity is between 10% and 80%).
Caution Do not operate the instrument in an environment where
potentially damaging liquids or gases are present. ▲
