(PN CLS137702RevB) for detailed instructions.
Glowing Materials
Always keep in mind that nearly EVERYTHING glows (that is, has the potential to phosphoresce
and contaminate the image). Most plastics, almost all tape, plants, paint, rodent food (mostly plants),
mouse urine, and animal bedding have been found to glow.
Use caution when introducing materials into the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III. It is advisable to pre-
screen all items by imaging them alone, before imaging them with samples under study. PerkinElmer
recommends using non-powdered gloves when working with IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III
equipment.

If you have any problems during the shut down or start up procedure, please contact PerkinElmer

NOTE:
The Emergency OFF switch is not intended as a main X-ray source control
and should not be used to turn the X-ray function ON or OFF on a routine basis. It
should only be used in the unlikely situation where the X-ray source must be
immediately turned OFF. Under normal circumstances, it should be left in the ON
position and left as is.
