The transilluminator is used for the fluorescence applications.
The use of the FireReader involves ultraviolet (UV) illumination. Proper
precautions must be taken to avoid eye and skin exposure to the UV light. This
instrument is meant for use only by specialised personnel that know the health
risks associated with UV radiation and the chemicals that are normally used
with this instrument.
The operator should wear appropriate safety glasses or a protective mask and
gloves. UV radiation can be dangerous for unprotected eyes and skin;
therefore we recommend the user to wear UV protective goggles (LP-70) or
face-shield (MP-80 or MP-800).
Switch off the transilluminator when gel is not present on the UV filter. If the
filter is too hot, it will damage your electrophoresis gel.
Wait for at least 20 second in the "High" position before reducing the intensity
If one or several tubes are off or used, and in order to keep a better
homogeneity, we recommend to change the 6 tubes simultaneously.
