Glomax ® -Multi+ Detection System With Temperature Control - Promega E8051 Technical Manual

8. GloMax ® -Multi+ Detection System with Temperature Control
A new feature found in the GloMax
shaker (Section 7) is the plate heating device. The GloMax
System Heater is capable of heating from ambient 20°C to 45° ± 0.75°C. Before a
run, allow ten minutes for the heater to warm up and calibrate to the desired
temperature. Access the Temperature Control option by selecting the "Tools"
button on the Instrument Control Screen. After two hours of inactivity, the
Temperature Control option will automatically shut off. If the temperature of
the instrument is different than the desired temperature when an assay run is
started, the GloMax ® -Multi+ Detection System will display a warning window
with the option to continue with or cancel the run.
Important: The use of a plate cover film is required to prevent sample
!
evaporation and damage to the instrument.
