Getting to KnowYour Bio-5000

The Bio-5000 is a combined flatbed and film scanner for electrophoresis gels and film

formats that also offers additional functionality to scan reflective art or prints as large

as 8.5" x 14". The Bio-5000 is equipped with Microtek's patented Emulsion Direct

Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.) for delivering distortion-free images in transparency

scanning. The 0.05 minimum optical density (Dmin) provides a wider and clearer range

for capturing light tones of images.

2 Bio-5000 Supplement

The Bio-5000 comes with several important features, including the following:

• One machine to scan all: With specially designed Leak-Free Glass Holders, the

Bio-5000 allows you to scan electrophoresis gels and transparent films directly in

the machine. It also supports scanning of reflective materials, such as photos and

prints.

• Microtek's Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.): This is a patented

“glassless” scanning system built into the lower bay of Microtek’s dual media

scanners, allowing the scanner CCD to directly read the emulsion side of the film

during scanning without any interfering pane of glass. This effectively eliminates

problems associated with normal glass transparency scanning like Newton Rings,

resulting in distortion-free images.

• Auto Focus:An image improvement feature introduced to Microtek flatbeds,Auto

Focus allows the scanner to change the focus position on images through the

movement of the CCD, resulting in better image quality for a chosen area of the

scan. Auto Focus is activated by default when the scanner is on but can be

switched off manually before the final scan is carried out. The results of Auto

Focus can be best seen when used with uneven, creased photos and film.

• 4800 x 9600-dpi resolution: The exceptionally high resolution of the Bio-5000 lets

you scan even postage-size images and enlarge them with amazing clarity, with

little loss of detail. The scanner's 0.05 minimum optical density (Dmin) allows it to

capture a wide range of dark tones approximating real-life color and hues.

• Microtek ScanWizard™ Bio scanning software: This is an advanced scanner

controller program that provides many powerful, professional-level features for

scanning.

• Hi-SpeedUSB interface: High-Speed USB(USB2.0) , which iscapableof 480Mbps

data transfer, provides plug-and-play connectivity for a hassle-free installation.

Unlocking the Scanner

Before you can operate the scanner, you will need to unlock the scanner. To unlock

the scanner, follow the steps below:

1. Remove the yellow “Unlock” sticker

from your scanner.

2. Look for the unlocking screw at the

your scanner stop blinking, use a

screwdriver, and then push and turn

the locking screw clockwise to the

locked position.

When the screw has been tightened, this indicates that your scanner is locked.

4. Turn off your scanner. The scanner is now ready for transport.

PositioningYour Originals

Aside from the scanning of reflectives, there are two pieces of Leak-Free Glass

Holders come with your scanner package, which are specifically designed to scan

electrophoresis gels and transparent film.

Before proceeding your scan, take note of the information presented below:

LEAK-FREE GLASS HOLDER

This holder is specifically designed for 

the use of the gel and transparent film scanning.

Leak-Free Glass Holders (2 pieces)

(used to scan electrophoresis gels and

transparent film)

Proper positioning of the scan material on the scanner is important for successful

scanning. Before starting scanning, refer to the individual section in the succeeding

pages about how to correctly position the electrophoresis gels, transparent film, and

reflectives.

The correct side up is the

side showing the holder

labels facing up

• When using the Leak-Free Glass Holders, make sure you use

the correct side up when inserting the holders into the scanner.

The correct side up is the side showing the holder labels facing

up.

• Make sure that the calibration strip on the holders are kept clear

and free of obstruction at all times; no material should ever be

placed on this area. Also, make sure the calibration strip faces the

front of the scanner when you insert the holder into the lower

compartment of the Bio-5000.

• Please take note that the high temperature may cause the damage

to your electrophoresis gels, transparencies and reflective

materials. Therefore, remember to turn off the scanner and remove

the scanned materials from the scanner once you finish the scan

job.

LEAK-FREE GLASS HOLDER

This holder is specifically designed for 

the use of the gel and transparent film scanning.

Note: The Leak-Free Glass Holders require regular cleaning. To clean, use mild glass cleaning solution, and

wipe the glass plate gently with lint-free, lens-cleaning cloth to prevent leaving fiber residue.

Positioning Electrophoresis Gels

This procedure applies when you use the lower scan bed of the Bio-5000 to scan the

electrophoresis gels.

Using the Leak-Free Glass Holder

1. Place the electrophoresis gel to be scanned on top of the glass surface of the

Leak-FreeGlassHolder.

Positioning Transparent Film

This procedure applies when you use the lower scan bed of the Bio-5000 to scan

transparencies, such as positive or negative film.

Using the Leak-Free Glass Holder

1. Place the film to be scanned face down on top of the glass surface of the Leak-

FreeGlass Holder.

2. Secure the film to the glass by using the vinyl strips come with your scanner

package.
