Bio-Rad EXQuest Spot Cutter - Manual (Page 23)

3.0 EXQUEST CALIBRATION WIZARD
Before you can use the spot cutter for the first time, you must calibrate it. The calibration wizard helps you to
quickly calibrate the camera, microplate and wash station. The calibration wizard functions the same whether
you are calibrating the gel head or the membrane head. Calibration should be performed when the
instrument is set up for the first time and then repeated whenever the cutting head is changed, new
fluorescent or halogen lights are installed, the camera is refocused, the spot cutter is moved, or optimum
accuracy is required. It is recommended that the EXQuest
™ spot cutter be recalibrated at least once every
three months. To calibrate the spot cutter:
1. Start the PDQuest ™ or Quantity One ® software and click Edit/Preferences….
Figure 3-1. Edit pull-down menu.
2. Click on the Devices tab in the Preferences dialog.
Figure 3-2. Preferences dialog box.
3. Select EXQuest Spot Cutter in the "Spot cutter" panel.
