Hybridization Oven Calibration Procedure
Step 4. Calibrate the oven
1
Compare the temperature reading from the
digital recording
thermometer
with the temperature on the digital display on the control
panel of the
hybridization oven
.
Make sure that the oven temperature is stable after the
digital recording
thermometer
is removed and before you adjust the
hybridization oven
.
The oven temperature is stable when the temperature display on the
oven reads the current set temperature.
2
If the difference between the two temperature readings is more than
0.2°C:
a
Press both
▲
and
▼
at the same time until the two outside decimal
points of the display begins to flash to put the display into
calibration mode.
b
While the decimal points are flashing, press the
▲
or
▼
arrow pad
until the reading on the display matches that measured by the
digital
recording thermometer
.
If the arrow pads are not pressed for five seconds, the display stops
blinking and reads the temperature in the chamber.
3
To recheck the temperature, start from
“Step 2. Start the digital
recording thermometer”
on page 4. Repeat calibration steps if needed.
The calibration procedure is now complete. Please keep your records as
required by GLP guidelines.
