Installation Procedures
Unpacking the TissueLyser II
Before unpacking the TissueLyser II, check whether the cardboard container is damaged. In case
of damage, contact the transporter of the container. The TissueLyser II must not be knocked,
shaken, or thrown during transport; otherwise its electronic and mechanical components may be
damaged.
Make a note of how the TissueLyser II is packed. If returning the instrument to QIAGEN for repair,
it needs to be repacked using the original packaging. When lifting the TissueLyser II, place both
hands below the base of the instrument.
After unpacking the TissueLyser II, check that the following items are supplied:
TissueLyser II
Power cords for different countries

If anything is missing, contact QIAGEN Technical Services.
Check that the TissueLyser II is not damaged. If anything is damaged, contact QIAGEN Technical
Services. Make sure that the TissueLyser II has equilibrated to ambient temperature before
operating it. The TissueLyser II should be stored dry when not in use.
Retain the original packaging in case you need to return the TissueLyser II to QIAGEN for repair.
Using the original packaging minimizes damage during transportation of the TissueLyser II and
avoids invalidation of your guarantee.
Installation requirements
Removal of the transport security device
A transport security device is located on the underside of the TissueLyser II: this is comprised of 2
screws (see Figure 10). Using a screwdriver, remove the 2 screws. Do not discard the screws, as
they will need to be reinstalled if the TissueLyser II needs to be transported in the future.
