Installing Emission Filters
To install the 50mm
2
ethidium bromide (EtBr) filter and any other
emission filters:
1. Carefully remove the filter from the protective plastic case,
holding the filter at the edges to prevent placing fingerprints
on the glass surface.
2. The filter wheel is located on the user’s right side of the
darkroom. Press in on the slide-out filter wheel door and the
door will pop out slightly. Pull the filter wheel assembly out
until it stops.
3. Manually rotate the filter wheel to the desired position. Place the ethidium bromide filter in Position
#1.
NOTE: Before placing the filter in the filter wheel, ensure that the text on the edge of the filter is
positioned so it is right side up when facing the installer.
4. Note the position of all installed filters for entry into the Filters menu in the TS2 Software.
5. Once all filters have been loaded, slide the filter wheel assembly back into the system until it locks
into place.
NOTE: In order for the system to accurately determine the position of the emission filter wheel,
press the Reset Wheel button in the Filters menu after the wheel has been moved by hand to
load, change or remove filters. This will recalibrate the emission filter wheel alignment. Refer to the
Filters section in this manual for more information.
Additional and replacement emission filters are available through UVP. Refer to the Replacement
Parts and Accessories section of this manual for ordering information.
