Installation Procedure
The following items are included in an XFe system:
•
XFe Analyzer
- The analyzer is a temperature controlled instrument
containing all optical and electronic measurement components to measure
oxygen and proton flux of cells grown in XF cell culture plates. The analyzer is
used in conjunction with XFe sensor cartridges.
•
Controller
- Operation of the Analyzer is done through a high-resolution color
LCD touch screen with stand, that may be installed in front of or beside the
XFe. The controller communicates with the analyzer using a single serial
cable and a single USB A-B cable.
Suitable locations for the XFe system
XFe Analyzers are designed for laboratory use. The internal environment of the
analyzer is controlled to a preset temperature by the user; therefore, laboratory
room temperature must be maintained within the range listed in the specification
table.
Tray temperature control performance can be monitored using the status display
on the right side of the analyzer.
The XFe uses optical detection technology to measure extremely low levels of
fluorescent emission from analyte sensors. While the analyzer has been
designed to shield room light, excessive light (such as direct sunlight) should be
avoided.
WARNING
The electrical connection at the back of the XFe is the primary disconnect for
the instrument. The XFe should be positioned to allow accessibility to the
power cord for easy disconnection.
CAUTION
Avoid drafty areas, as well as areas experiencing significant vibration (such as
a centrifuge).
