Minimum Clearance |
|---|---|
|
Sides |
Allow at least 30 cm (12 in) on each side of the instrument. |
|
Rear |
Allow at least 15.25 cm (6 in) behind the instrument. |
|
Top |
Allow at least 30 cm (12 in) above the instrument (lowered monitor). |
| • | Make sure that you can reach around the right side of the instrument to access the power switch on the back panel. |
| • | Position the instrument so that you can quickly disconnect the power cord from the outlet. |
Lab Bench Guidelines
The instrument includes precision optical elements. Place the instrument on a sturdy and level lab bench away from sources of vibration.
Vibration Guidelines
During sequencing runs, use the following best practices to minimize continuous and intermittent vibrations and ensure optimal performance.
| • | Keep the lab bench free of potential vibration sources, such as: |
| – | Shakers, vortex mixers, centrifuges, drawers, cabinets, and shelves that can cause unintentional shocks to the bench surface. |
| – | Pressurized air or nitrogen and other major air flows. |
| • | Keep the clearance area free of clutter. |
| • | Do not place used consumables or other lab tools and accessories on the instrument. |
| • | When interacting with the instrument, use only the touch screen monitor and the recommended workflow for loading and unloading consumables. |
| • | Do not impact instrument surfaces. |
Storage Requirements for iSeq 100 i1 Reagent v2 kits
When you receive iSeq 100 i1 Reagent kits, promptly store components at the appropriate conditions to ensure proper performance:
| • | Store at the indicated temperatures. |
| • | Do not open the white foil packaging until instructed to do so. The cartridge is thawed in the bag. |
| • | Position the cartridge so that the package label faces up. |
| • | Store the cartridge for at least one day before thawing in a water bath. |
The following table provides storage temperature and dimensions for components included in iSeq 100 i1 Reagent v2 kits, a single-use reagent kit.
