Quick Start Guide
STRATUS
Your new Stratus is an L.E.D.-based plate reader used to measure
optical densities in standard plate formats.
Step 1: Get Started.
Confirm receipt of all components and device (shown above). The
microSD card may already be installed in the Stratus.
Step 2: Location.
Place your Stratus where you’d like to measure. This is anywhere your
samples will be happy – incubator, anaerobic chamber, benchtop, hood, etc.
Step 3: Power the Device.
First, insert the microSD card. Then, plug the power adapter into
a standard wall outlet, and the USB cable into the power adapter and the Stratus.
Step 4: Allow for Equilibration.
The Stratus needs 60 minutes to equilibrate to new environ-
mental conditions. This can be a good time to do your experimental prep work.
Step 5: Go!
