Setting up the System

  • Updated

It is really easy to set up the CytoSMART® Lux2 system. All you need are these items:

  • An incubator
  • The CytoSMART® Lux2 device
  • A Windows 10 laptop with an USB 3.0-port
  • An internet connection

Be sure to remove any wrapping before placing the CytoSMART® Lux2 inside the incubator. Also clean the device with a damp lint free cloth and IPA or EtOH (70%).

Important: Do not use acetone to clean the device and do not autoclave the device.

 

Setup Procedure

  1. Turn on the Windows 10 laptop and make sure it is connected to a power plug.
  2. Download the Lux2 app from https://download.cytosmart.com and install it on the laptop. This is only necessary the first time you use the device.
    1. In case you have purchased a laptop at CytoSMART®, the app is pre-installed.
  3. Check if the incubator has a cable port in the back.
    1. If so, place the Lux2 inside the incubator and guide the USB cable through the cable port.
    2. If no port is present, place the Lux2 inside the incubator and guide the cable between the door and frame of the incubator.
  4. After the cable is properly guided, plug in the cable in a USB-3.0 port of the laptop.
  5. In case you have purchased a Lux2 Duo Kit or Multi Lux, repeat steps 3 and 4 for all devices.
  6. Start the app by double clicking on the icon.

Important: Be careful when guiding the cable between the door and frame of the incubator. The door hinges can cause a cable breach, which is not covered by warranty.
