Unpacking the Instrument

Mx3000P and Mx3005P QPCR Systems Setup and User's Guide
Note
To ensure safety, we recommend that the lifting and unpacking of
the system be performed by two people.
Note
Par mesure de sécurité, nous recommandons d'être deux
personnes pour soulever et pour déballer l'instrument.
1. Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Do not apply force
to any part of the instrument directly; instead apply force to the plastic
bag or foam supports surrounding the instrument.
Important
Retain the shipping container and all packaging
materials, including the wooden pallet. In the event that
the instrument needs to be returned for service, the
instrument must be shipped in the original container to
maintain warranty protection.
2. Remove the foam and cardboard supports and the plastic bag, then
place the instrument in an appropriate location (see Locating the
Instrument).
3. Remove the tape securing the instrument door from the instrument
front.
4. Open the instrument door by pushing up on the door handle. Remove
and retain the foam used to immobilize the scanning-head on the track.
5. Move the scan arm to the left of the thermal block top.
6. To access the thermal block, unlatch the heated lid by pulling forward
on the handle and then rotating the lid up and away from the thermal
block. Gently push down on the handle to lock the lid into the open
position. To close the lid on the thermal block, gently pull up on the
handle to release. After rotating the lid back to the closed position,
gently push the handle toward the back of the instrument to lock it into
the closed position.
7. Surrounding the 96-well thermal block is a plastic Perfect Fit frame.
Remove and retain the Perfect Fit frame for later use. See the Sample
Loading section for more information about the Perfect Fit frame.
