WARNING! Use only isoflurane with the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III. DO NOT USE
FLAMMABLE ANESTHESIA GAS.
CAUTION: It is recommended to use the XGI-8 Gas Anesthesia System when
imaging small animals (Figure 7.4). The system supplies a controlled amount of
isoflurane to the imaging chamber and continuously reduces the build-up of
isoflurane in the chamber. If you want to use a gas other than the recommended
isoflurane/oxygen gas mixture or pure air, contact PerkinElmer Technical Support
(see page 24).
