17.B. Fluorescence Module
The Fluorescence Module is required for fluorescence detection. If your
instrument does not have this module, contact Promega Technical Services for
information about purchasing and installation of the Fluorescence Module. See
Section 22.D for ordering information.
Installing the Fluorescence Module
1. If the door is open, touch the "Door" button to automatically close the
instrument door and set the Microplate Sample Tray into Home position.
2. Turn off the GloMax
3. Manually open the instrument door, and hold it open.
4. Slide the Fluorescence Detection Head into the position labeled Fluor
located inside the instrument. Be careful not to damage the printed circuit
board on the back of the detection head.
5. Hand-tighten the two captive screws using the Allen Wrench (size 7/16
inches) provided with the kit. Using too much force may damage the
screws. See Figure 44 to locate the screws, A and B.

Optical Kit in the Fluorescence Module and keep the instrument door
closed.
