Optical Subsystem
The MAGPIX optical subsystem consists of red and green LED illumination, a CCD-based
imager, an imaging chamber, and a magnet to hold the magnetic microspheres in place
during the imaging process. The optical subsystem is contained in the same area as the
PCBAs. It is not accessible by the user and requires no user maintenance.
Recommended Additional Equipment
Successful operation of the Luminex MAGPIX system may require additional equipment.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Surge Protector
Luminex recommends using either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a surge
protector to protect your system from power outages. Use a UPS that provides 585 Watts/
960 VA for at least 60 minutes. Select a surge protector that fits your requirements with
regard to electrical environment, endurance, suppressed voltage rating, and method of
protection. The surge protector requires three outlets and a minimum rating of 585 Watts.
Either piece of equipment should bear an appropriate safety certification mark for your
region, for example, Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Canadian Standards Association
(CSA), or Conformité Europeénne (CE).
