Updating Software
Periodically, Life Technologies adds functionality and other improvements to the
EVOS
®
user interface. We recommend keeping your EVOS
®
FL Imaging System up
to date with the latest software. If you have any questions about software updates,
contact your local EVOS
®
distributor. If you do not have your distributor
information, contact Technical Support (page 54).
Download Software
Update
Software updates are available from the EVOS
®
FL Imaging System product page
at
www.lifetechnologies.com/evosfl.
Download the update directly to the top level of a USB flash drive with at least
30 MB available. Do not open or rename the file on your computer; EVOS
®
FL
Imaging System will verify and install it during the update process.
Download the current user guide for the EVOS
®
FL Imaging System from our
website. The updated user guide covers the new software functionality when
features are added.
Alternatively, you can get the latest software and documentation updates from
your local EVOS
®
