Fluorescence Calibration Slide Application: For regular calibration of LuxScanTM 10K Microarray Scanner
Calibration Cycle Using Fluorescence Calibration Slide
It is recommended to perform system calibration once every 6 months and perform focal length calibration once every month. When the ambient temperature changes by more than 10 ℃, a focal length calibration is required.
Calibration SOP Using Fluorescence Calibration Slide
1. Turn on the power switch located at the bottom right corner of the scanner's back hood.
2. Double-click the desktop shortcut icon “LuxScan 3.0”, and then click "LuxScan 10K" to open the software.
