ITEM-15690

This Molecular Devices ImageXpress Ultra XLS System was removed from a university during a lab clearout.


The lab informed us that there was a the following error in the software and it was too expensive for them to get an engineer in to diagnose further. As a result of the below,.


During start up, there was a DSP 111 error reported for the Y axis and testing with PolyCom app confirmed that this was only on the Y axis. The Y stayed free moving at all times, having never initialised. 


We had a Molecular Devices engineer assess the unit. They recommended that it is beyond repair and can only be used for spares.


Only the following parts can be used as spares for other ImageXpress models


Lasers :

488(nm) + 561(nm) - Coherent

408(nm) + 630(nm) - Blue Sky
