To install and use the gel alignment template kit
1. Place the locator frame over the transilluminator with the magnetic side down.
Match the corners of the magnetic locator frame with the edges of the
transilluminator. The UV symbol on the frame will be in the same orientation as
the UV symbol on the imager.
2. Place the gel alignment template that matches the size of your sample tray or
agarose gel into the magnetic locator frame.
3. Place your gel or gel tray into the open area of the template.
Note: No recalibration is necessary to use the gel alignment template kit.
Orange Fluorescence Reference Plate
The orange fluorescence reference plate enables you to apply UV flat fielding
corrections to your GS-900™ imager. Corrections are made for all UV illumination
sources, filters, and the camera lens.
The orange fluorescence reference plate is recommended for quantitation with
Bio-Rad’s stain-free gels, and can be used to correct for image nonuniformities for
red and orange gels, including:
 Ethidium bromide
 GelRed
 Flamingo™
 Coomassie Fluor Orange
 SYPRO Ruby
 Krypton
