JuLI
TM
Stage - User Manual
The
JuLI™ Stage is optimized for a standard size cell culture incubator.
It is recommended that the temperature of the
JuLI™ Stage instrument can
equilibrate to the temperature of the incubator.
Environmental requirements
When you
use the JuLI™ Stage inside an incubator, make sure that the temperature
of the laboratory never exceeds 15
℃
to 25
℃.
Temperature outside this range may
affect the performance of the JuLI™ Stage.
The well plate’s cover should be wetted using the cell culture media before
monitoring.
This step is recommended to avoid condensation inside the well plate cover for
monitoring.
☞
Note: This procedure can increase the risk for contamination. When properly
warmed up some vessels do not show condensation and can be imaged without
pre-wetting the lid. This should especially be considered for critical samples.
Avoid exposing the
JuLI™ Stage
to UV light.
UV light may degrade components, including plastics. Damage from UV exposure
is not covered under the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Always wipe the surfaces with ethanol-soaked paper towels.
Do not directly spray ethanol anywhere on the
JuLI™ Stage.
☞
Note: The objectives are especially prone to damage by excessive ethanol.
Please always clean the objectives with ethanol-wetted objective cleaning paper.
