10.G. Running the Standard Light Plate Protocol
The optional Standard Light Plate provides a quick way to verify instrument
performance. The Standard Light Plate consists of three highly stable light
sources that simulate luminescent samples at signal intensity ranging over
four logarithmic scales. Refer to the instruction card enclosed with the
Standard Light Plate for detailed instructions on use. The Standard Light Plate
protocol is available as a preset protocol.
Note: See Section 15 for data analysis details.
Getting Started
1. Briefly press the "Start" button on the Microplate Luminescence Light
Plate.
2. The "Battery check" indicator will flash a green light as long as the "Start"
button is pressed and the battery has sufficient power.
3. The green light will turn Off once the "Start" button is released. The light
plate is now On and ready for use. After five minutes it will automatically
turn Off. The built-in timer can be restarted at any time by pressing the
"Start" button again.
