This icon calls attention to important safety notes.
Warning! A Warning indicates the potential for bodily harm and
tells you how to avoid the problem.
Caution A Caution indicates potential damage to the instrument
and tells you how to avoid the problem.
Note: Bold text is primarily used for emphasis.
This icon calls attention to important information.
Intended Use Statement
The PowerWave is an eight-channel, automated, benchtop, general-purpose Microplate
Spectrophotometer that performs optical density measurements of samples in a microplate
format. The user must evaluate this instrument with PC-based software in conjunction
with the specific assay. This evaluation must include the confirmation that performance
characteristics for the specific assay are met.
•BioTek Gen5 software package provides the user with instrument control and data
reduction capabilities.
•This product can operate with standard robotic systems, such as the BioStack
Microplate Stacker.
•This product may be used for In Vitro Diagnostic, research and development, or
other non-clinical purposes.

Quality Control | 9
PowerWave Operator’s Manual
Quality Control
It is considered good laboratory practice to run laboratory samples according to
instructions and specific recommendations included in the package insert or standard
laboratory protocol for the test to be conducted. Failure to conduct Quality Control checks
could result in erroneous test data.
Warranty and Product Registration
Review the Warranty information that shipped with your product. Register your
product(s) with BioTek to ensure that you receive important information and updates.
Contact the Customer Resource Center (CRC) at www.biotek.com or by calling 888/451-
5171 or 802/655-4740.
Repackaging and Shipping

If you need to ship the instrument to BioTek for service or
repair, contact BioTek for a Return Materials Authorization
(RMA) number, and be sure to use the original packing
materials. Other forms of commercially available packaging are
not recommended and can void the warranty. If the original
packing materials have been damaged or lost, contact BioTek for
replacement packing.
Warnings
Operate the instrument on a level surface away from excessive humidity.
Strong light can reduce the linear performance range of the instrument.
Measurement values may be affected by extraneous particles (such as dust) in the
microplate wells. A clean work area is necessary to ensure accurate readings.
When operated in a safe environment according to the instructions in this
document, there are no known hazards associated with the instrument. However,
the operator should be aware of certain situations that could result in serious injury;
these may vary depending on the instrument model. See Hazards and Precautions.

10 | Preface
BioTek Instruments, Inc.
Hazards
The following hazard warnings are provided to help avoid injury:
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument’s power supply cord must be connected
to a power receptacle that provides voltage and current within the specified rating
for the system. Use of an incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical
shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a two-prong plug adapter to connect
primary power to the external power supply. Use of an adapter disconnects the
utility ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the power supply
directly to an appropriate receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Internal Voltage. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the
power supply before cleaning the outer surface of the instrument.
Warning! Liquids. Avoid spilling liquids on the reader; fluid seepage into internal
components creates a potential for shock hazard or instrument damage. If a spill
occurs while a program is running, abort the program and turn off the instrument.
Wipe up all spills immediately. Do not operate the instrument if internal
components have been exposed to fluid.
Warning! Unspecified Use. Failure to operate this equipment according to the
guidelines and safeguards specified in this manual could result in a hazardous
condition.
Warning! Software Quality Control. The operator must follow the
manufacturer’s assay package insert when modifying software parameters and
establishing reading methods. Failure to conduct quality control checks could result
in erroneous test data.
Warning! Reader Data Reduction Protocol. No limits are applied to the raw
absorbance data. All information exported via computer control must be thoroughly
analyzed by the operator.
Warning! Potential Biohazards. Some assays or specimens may pose a
biohazard. Adequate safety precautions should be taken as outlined in the assay’s
package insert. Always wear safety glasses and appropriate protective equipment,
such as chemically resistant rubber gloves and an apron.

Precautions | 11
PowerWave Operator’s Manual
Precautions
The following precautions are provided to help avoid damage to the instrument:
Caution: Service. The instrument should be serviced by BioTek authorized service
personnel. Only qualified technical personnel should perform troubleshooting and
service procedures on internal components.
Caution: Environmental Conditions. Do not expose the system to temperature
extremes. For proper operation, ambient temperatures should remain within the
range listed in the Specifications section of Chapter 1. Performance may be
adversely affected if temperatures fluctuate above or below this range. Storage
temperature limits are broader.
Caution: Sodium Hypochlorite. Do not expose any part of the instrument to the
recommended diluted sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) for more than 20
minutes. Prolonged contact may damage the instrument surfaces. Be certain to rinse
and thoroughly wipe all surfaces.
Caution: External Power Supply. Only use the power supply shipped with the
instrument. Operate this power supply within the range of line voltages listed on it.
Caution: Carrier Shipping Bracket. The microplate carrier shipping bracket
must be removed before operating the instrument and reinstalled before
repackaging the instrument for shipment.
Caution: Disposal. This instrument contains printed circuit boards and wiring
with lead solder. Dispose of the instrument according to Directive 2002/96/EC, “on
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)” or local ordinances.
Caution: Warranty. Failure to follow preventive maintenance protocols may void
the warranty. See Chapter 5 for preventive maintenance procedures.
Caution: Electromagnetic Environment. Per IEC 61326-2-6 it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that a compatible electromagnetic environment for this
instrument is provided and maintained in order that the device will perform as
intended.
Caution: Electromagnetic Compatibility. Do not use this device in close
proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (e.g., unshielded
intentional RF sources), because these may interfere with the proper operation.

need for interference filters. The eight-channel reader is computer controlled via BioTek’s
Gen5 software. Key features include:
•A variety of read methods including endpoint, kinetic, multiwavelength, and
spectral scanning.
•A monochromator for continuous wavelength selection from 200 to 999 nm (or 340
to 999 nm for the PowerWave 340), in 1-nm increments
•A xenon flash lamp for both UV and visible light absorbance measurements.
•Superior optical specifications, with an extended dynamic range of up to 4.000 OD.
•Ability to read standard 96- and 384-well (PowerWave HT) microplates and
BioTek’s patented BioCell quartz vessel for 1 cm measurements.
•Three reading speeds: normal, rapid, and sweep mode.
•A unique 4-Zone™ temperature control from 4º over ambient to 50ºC that ensures
superior temperature uniformity necessary for kinetic assays.
•Low, medium, high, and variable plate shake speeds with adjustable durations.
•Robot accessible carrier. Compatible with BioTek’s BioStack Microplate Stacker.
If you purchased the BioStack to operate with the PowerWave, refer to
