To install and use the gel alignment template kit
1. Place the locator frame over the transilluminator with the magnetic side down.
Match the corners of the magnetic locator frame with the edges of the
transilluminator. The UV symbol on the frame will be in the same orientation as
the UV symbol on the imager.
2. Place the gel alignment template that matches the size of your sample tray or
agarose gel into the magnetic locator frame.
3. Place your gel or gel tray into the open area of the template.
Note: No recalibration is necessary to use the gel alignment template kit.
White Light Transilluminator
The white light transilluminator provides a white light that is independent of the UV
bulbs. Between uses, this transilluminator can be stored in the rear of the universal
hood.
To install the white light transilluminator
1. Open the enclosure door and pull the drawer toward you.
2. Locate the power cable positioned on the inside left side of the enclosure,
behind the drawer slide.
3. Remove the black rubber boot that covers the connector plug and insert it into
the white light transilluminator. Make sure that the main power switch on the
transilluminator is in the ON position.
Note: Power to the white light transilluminator is controlled from either the
software or the membrane touch pad on the universal hood.
