Excising Bands from Samples
Excising Bands on a White or Blue Tray
Working with white and blue trays does not require using the UV shield or wearing
protective gear. However, you must wear yellow XcitaBlue™ goggles to see bands on a
blue tray.
Caution: Sharp cutting tools can easily damage the surface of
the trays. To avoid this, place a sheet of clear glass or plastic on
the tray before you add the gel sample. Use a chopping motion
rather than a sawing motion.
To excise bands on a white or blue tray
1. Place a gel sample in the center of the tray.
2. With Live View on screen, tap Turn Transilluminator On.
The transilluminator turns on, illuminating the gel.
Note: The lights turn on only when the sample tray is in place.
3. Excise the bands.
4. When you finish excising the bands, remove the sample tray and tap Turn
Transilluminator Off.
5. Slide in the transilluminator drawer and close the main door.
