For fluorescence and luminescence reading modes, the height of the
top optical probe can be adjusted. Use the Read Height option to
define how far the top probe shall be offset from the top surface of the
plate during the read. In Gen5, this option is found in a Read step
within a Procedure. Refer to the Gen5 Help for further instructions.
Lamp Assembly and Filter Wheel Access
Applies only to Synergy HTX models with fluorescence and luminescence capability.
Figure 13: Accessing the fluorescence lamp assembly and filter wheels
• The fluorescence lamp assembly and the excitation and emission filter wheels are
accessible via a hinged door on the front of the instrument. To open the door, slip
your finger into the notch on the right side and pull the door downward. A
diagram showing the location of the lamp assembly and the orientation of the
excitation and emission filter wheels is printed on the inside of the hinged door.
• For models with the Time-Resolved Fluorescence feature, remove the excitation
filter wheel and replace it with the “TR” cartridge before running a time-resolved
fluorescence assay. See page 37 for more information on the TR cartridge.
