    Error Messages Instrument cannot achieve a set temperature by heating within 10 minutes an error message appears to inform user to turn unit off and call service. A constant beep will sound. If the instrument cannot measure the temperature, the software will automatically turn off the heating. An error message will appear to inform the user to turn off the unit and call service.

    Section Operating Instructions Opening and Closing the Lid The platen may be hot. Use caution and check temperature on display before handling slides. Improper precaution can cause a burn. Depressions located on either side of the lid allow user to simply lift lid into position. The lid should offer some resistance when opening.
  • Page 11 Denaturation and Hybridization: Display indicates present temperature of the slides. Once temperature reaches denaturation set point, ThermoBrite will beep twice and denaturation time will count down from the set time. PGM 01 Her2 Denat in Process Denat: 82°C 02:28 Present Temp: 82°C The ThermoBritewill automatically cool to hybridization set temperature once denaturation is completed.

    Section Theory of Operation Overview The ThermoBrite is a programmable device that is used to control a plate upon which samples are placed to precision temperatures. The device is required to move quickly between various set temperatures with little or no overshoot and then remain at the set temperature within +-1 degree for any desired time.
  • Page 15: Pid

    The system uses a PID algorithm to get quick and precise control of temperatures over the usable range of the instrument. If we define a temperature error (E) as the difference between the temperature setpoint and the measured temperature, a standard PID control would involve the following equation: Control = Pg*E + Ig*∫E *dt+Rg*dT/dt Where: Pg is a constant (proportional gain)

    Note: The voltage will be listed on the device serial number label. Turn on the ThermoBrite unit. The Name “DakoCytomation” (Hybridizer) or “StatSpin Inc.” (ThermoBrite) and the software revision will appear on the display for a short time. Note: The prompt screen will supersede this screen.
  • Page 19 Note: It will beep once it reaches 95.0°C. Start the timer and record the temperature readings at 2, 5, and 10-minute intervals for the six probes. Note: The 95.0°C test readings should be between 94.0°C and 96.0°C. The unit passes the test if the readings are within range.
  • Page 20: Section 7

    Section Programming Overview ThermoBrite is capable of storing 40 different programs. Each program can be one of three program types: Denaturation and Hybridization (Denat & Hyb), Hybridization Only (Hyb Only) or Fixed Temperature (Fixed Temp). Select PGM Type Denat & Hyb Hyb Only Fixed Temp Programming is simple.
