Turn Transilluminator On.
To excise bands on a Chemi/UV/Stain-Free tray
1. To avoid damaging the surface of the sample tray, place a sheet of clear glass or
plastic on the tray before you add the gel sample.
2. Place a gel sample in the center of the tray.
3. With Live View on the screen, tap Turn Transilluminator On.
Turn Transilluminator On changes from green to blue and the UV lights turn on,
illuminating the gel.
Note: The UV lights turn on only when both the sample tray and the UV shield are
in place. If the lights do not turn on, verify that the UV shield is installed correctly.
4. Raise the UV shield no more than is necessary to work with the sample.
WARNING! Keep the UV shield open for as little time as
possible.
5. Reach around the sides of the shield to excise the bands.
