For best results with the LUNA-II
™ Automated Cell Counter, follow the instructions below in addition
to the general precautions for using electrical instruments.
1. Be careful to avoid electric shock while operating the instrument. Do not touch it and other
components with wet hands. Do not place it in a humid environment such as an incubator. For
operating environment, see page 9.
2. Trypan blue stain is known as a hazardous material. While handling the solution, always wear
proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid exposure.
3.
Before use, make sure that the input voltage is compatible with the instrument’s power supply
voltage.
4. For optimal operation, place the instrument on a flat surface and avoid any vibration.
5. Turn on the instrument only after connecting both ends of its power cord to the wall outlet as
well as the instrument. Always turn off the instrument before disconnecting the power cord
and/or moving the instrument.
6. Ensure that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power inlet, the wall outlet and AC adapter.
7. When the instrument is operating for a long time, its temperature can become too high. Please
be careful that the instrument’s temperature does not become too high during long and
continuous operation times. When operating, leave enough space around the instrument so
there is enough room for air circulation and cooling.

broken, please contact a service person.
Disassembling the instrument invalidates its warranty.

contact a service person.
