Environmental Considerations
|
Element |
Specification |
|---|---|
|
Temperature |
Maintain a lab temperature of 15°C to 30°C. This temperature is the operating temperature of the instrument. During a run, do not allow the ambient temperature to vary more than ±2°C. Maximum temperature for the Compute Server is 40°C. |
|
Humidity |
Maintain a noncondensing relative humidity between 20–80%. |
|
Elevation |
Locate the instrument at an altitude below 2000 meters (6500 feet). |
|
Air Quality |
Operate the instrument in an indoor environment with air particulate cleanliness levels per ISO 14644-1 Class 9 (ordinary room / laboratory air), or better. Keep the instrument away from sources of dust. |
|
Ventilation |
Consult your facilities department for ventilation requirements based on the instrument heat output specifications. |
|
Vibration |
Limit the continuous vibration of the lab floor to ISO office level. During a sequencing run, do not exceed ISO operating room limits. Avoid intermittent shocks or disturbances near the instrument. |
