Important Safety Information
Please read these instructions before attempting to operate the
Gel Doc™ XR+ or ChemiDoc™ XRS+ imaging system.
This instrument is suitable for research use only. It must be used, therefore, only by
specialized personnel who know the health risks associated with the reagents that
are normally used with this instrument.
Use of the Gel Doc XR+ or ChemiDoc XRS+ imaging system involves UV
illumination. Proper precautions must be taken to avoid eye and skin exposure to
the UV radiation. This instrument is meant for use only by trained personnel who
know the health risks associated with the UV radiation normally used with this

guarantee complete protection, and it is designed to shield only the person working
in front of the imager.

Use of the acrylic screen does not guarantee the user protection
from UV radiation. The use of protective eyeglasses, mask, and/or gloves is
strongly recommended.
