Location of the Instrument

The Ultramark microplate reader is a precise optical measuring instrument. The following conditions
must be met to ensure maximum sensitivity:

Place the instrument on a flat surface that is free of vibration.

Do not place the instrument in direct sunlight.

Make sure that the instrument is being operated in a dust-free environment.

Warning! Do not operate the instrument with the filter cover off. Always have the filter cover
attached to ensure proper data sampling and protect users from moving parts.
