This manual contains a separate chapter for each instrument. Each instrument
chapter provides step-by-step instructions for performing two different tests, which
are described in "Temperature verification tests" on page
The Temperature Verification System is a kit consisting of a probe, a digital
thermometer, frames to prevent ambient air from entering the sample block, light
mineral oil, and cotton swabs. The system is used to verify temperatures of the
sample block on your thermal cycler.
The table below indicates which Temperature Verification System kit you should
order for your thermal cycler.
Figure 1 on page 3 shows the major components of the 0.2-mL 96-Well Temperature
Verification Kit.
