5.1 "Run" Mode
Switch on the unit. The unit will automatically go into the starting position with
the drawer released and the plate lifting platform in "low" position.
In starting position the unit will automatically begin to warm up the heating
element. The display shows the temperature increase in real time with the amber
LED flashing.
When the heating element reaches the set temperature an audible beep is
emitted and the amber LED remains permanently illuminated.
The system is ready for sealing and the sample plate can be loaded onto the
appropriate plate carrier:
- All fully skirted SBS standard plates (except 96well PCR plates) can be loaded
onto the standard plate carrier. However, for easier handling of shallow well
plates we recommend to place the standard plate carrier (4ti-0615) inside the
adapter for 96well PCR plates (optional extra, code 4ti-0625).
- All 96well PCR plates should be inserted into the 96well PCR plate adapter
(product code 4ti-0625, see below). Note: When using the 96well PCR plate
adapter the standard plate carrier should be removed from the drawer.
