Positioning the Gel
To position a gel
1. Click the yellow Position Your Gel button in the Protocol Setup window.
2. Place a gel on the imager stage and view the gel in Image Lab.
3. Use the slider below the image to zoom the image into place. You can also
move the gel manually until it is centered properly on the stage.

agar
ose gels to be center
ed quickly and easily and ensures the consistent
placement of each gel. See Appendix D, Accessories, on page 243 for
more information.
