Editing PCR Programs
Programs that are created manually or by the Program Wizard can be
edited in the same way with the functions available in the programming
screen. Preloaded programs can also be edited once they are saved with a
new name (see
“To edit a preloaded program” on page 52).
After you edit a PCR program, the program can be saved with the same
name or saved under a new file name. The USB drive on the front of the
instrument allow you to back up your saved PCR programs to a USB stick
or transfer them to another SureCycler 8800 instrument.
