BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The following procedure is recommended before
every use.
1.
Clean the top of the glass/tray insert and ensure
it is free of debris.
2. Check within Q-View Software that the Q-View
Imager LS is connected to the PC.
CLEANING THE TRAY SURFACE
If any particulate, liquid, or dried salt residues or
smudges are left on the glass or the tray, it will
adversely affect the quality of the image and the
overall quality of your data. This can be cleaned with
70 percent ethanol using a lint-free cloth. Do not use
scouring cleaners or abrasive pads as this can scratch
the glass.
LOADING THE PLATE
The user sets the Q-Plex™ plate in the glass/tray
insert with well A1 in the top left corner of the tray
when facing the Q-View Imager LS. Make sure the
plate rests flat on the glass on all edges of the plate.
Make sure there is no lid on the plate and there is
only one plate on the tray. Then, gently close the lid
and proceed to image.
