Congratulations on taking the first step
to bring Single-Cell Westerns™ into
your lab! This quick guide will help you
get your Milo™ set up so you can start
running experiments right away.
Unpack the Milo instrument, electrophoresis cell,
accessory kit and power cord.
Plug the instrument into a standard wall outlet by
inserting the power cord into the back of the instrument.
Switch on the master power switch located above the
power cord inlet on the back of the instrument.
Touch the “Leveling” tab on the touchscreen interface. Finish
adjusting the height of all four instrument feet until both electronic
levels read a value of 0 (±0.2 degrees). It is easiest to adjust the level
one axis at a time (i.e. first left to right, then back to front).
Turn on the instrument by pushing the button located
on the front right of the instrument. Wait for the user
interface to load on the touch screen. Do not power off
the instrument until the user interface is displayed.
Open Milo’s lid and place the electrophoresis cell into the
recessed region inside Milo. Close the instrument lid.
To level the instrument, start with the feet screwed in all
the way. Then, adjust the foot height by turning the nut
at the top of the white foot until all the instument feet
are touching the bench surface.
That’s it! Your Milo is ready to go!
