Disassembly

Step 1: Unplug and disassemble the optics system #

1. Remove any vial placed in the Pioreactor.
2. Remove the LED caps from REF, IR and 90° sockets.
3. Remove the LED and PDs from their sockets.
   caution

   If the LEDs/PDs are stuck in the socket, do not pull! Gently twist the bulb until it loosens from the socket to safely remove it.

4. Unplug the PDs only from the HAT. Leave the LED attached - this will be reused in the v1.5.

Step 2: Replace the top vial holder #

1. The new top v1.5 vial holder has a groove within the body where the #024 O-ring sits. Carefully insert the O-ring using your fingers. Make sure to not twist the O-ring.
2. Run your finger inside the vial holder, pushing the O-ring into place to ensure a snug fit.
3. Screw off the existing top vial holder by twisting it counter-clockwise. This old top isn't needed anymore.
4. Screw on the new v1.5 vial holder.
