5.3 Lasers and detectors
The lasers and detectors tab displays the status of the optical bench. It is possible to monitor the status of each
laser fluorescence channel. The temperature, fan speed, PMT voltage, and annotated path of each laser is
shown. A status overview of the optical bench is schematically represented. The bench temperature is kept
between 33 °C and 37 °C. Therefore the fan speed is regulated automatically depending on the ambient room
temperature and internal temperature of the MACSQuant Instrument. Please note that the temperature for the
lasers should be between 10 °C and 45 °C. In case of errors, please contact Miltenyi Biotec Technical Support.
