Level the instrument
1. Ensure that it is resting on the flat rubber foot of each
castor, and not the wheels to prevent the instrument
from rolling.
2. (Optional) If adjustment of the castors is required, use
the bubble level to ensure the level placement of the
instrument.
Place the bubble level in the electroporation chamber
holder, then adjust the height of the castors by turning
the red adjustment knob(s) by hand until the bubble is
within the red circle.
