2. Fusibles
La protection de l’appareil est assurée par deux fusibles dont le remplacement ne peut être
effectué que par un personnel qualifié.
Si les fusibles sautent sans arrêt, il s’agit d’un problème sérieux. Nous vous conseillons dans ce
cas de prendre contact avec votre fournisseur pour réparation.
4.2 User responsibilities
• To use the instrument in such a manner as to minimize interference with the optical system.
The heat-sealed film over the top of the plate must be clean and dry when the plate is
loaded as the optical components will make contact with this surface. The film must be free
of foreign bodies, creases, folds or finger marks.
• To install the required filter sets and ensure they are correctly positioned and secured (see
instructions for fitting in section 1.16.3). The user must replace filters when degraded with
age.
• To keep the instrument clean and air inlets and outlets free from obstruction.
• To load the correct type of sample plate.
4.2.1 LED
The long-life LED used in PrimeQ is extremely durable and should last the life of the instrument.
In the unlikely event any issues arise with this item, please contact Techne for support.
4.2.2 Filters
The life of the emission and excitation filters is expected to be at least two years but is dependent
upon the ambient temperature and humidity.
See chapter 1 for further details.
For part numbers see section 5.5.
The software is only able to detect whether a cartridge is present and not its specifications. These
must be defined by the user via the application software. See section 1.16.4 for more information.
4.2.3 Replacing the fuses
Ensure that fuses are only replaced with the same type and rating as those currently in the
instrument.
4.3 Recommended consumablesConsumables
For general purpose use, giving good sensitivity and resolution, Techne recommends the use of
low profile 96-well clear plates. Black plates give the lowest background, and white plates,
although they have the highest background, do give the greatest signal to noise ratio.
PrimeQ does not require a specific seal as long as the seal of choice is compatible with the unit’s
optical reads.
