A heated lid mat (Part No. 6104978) is supplied with the TC-512; this is for use with 96-well PCR
plates sealed with an adhesive seal. The rubber mat should be placed in top of the sealing film to
ensure good thermal contact with the heated lid. Do not over-tighten the lid as this will cause the
silicone rubber membrane to deform and will reduce the effectiveness of the heated lid.
MEMORY CARD
(not included, must be ordered separately)
The memory card has several functions such as storing programs and temperature logs of completed
programs which have been run. It also enables upgrades of the control software to be carried out by
either copying software from a new unit to an older one or by obtaining a copy of the software from
Bibby Scientific Ltd. The memory card can store up to 500 three segment programs; the number of
programs is reduced as the number of segments in each program is increased, to a maximum of 1500
segments in a single program.
The memory card locates in the slot under the silver lid on the front of the instrument. To insert the
memory card first lift the heated lid and then the cover and push the memory card into the slot until
the button on the left rises. The main label on the memory card should be facing towards the front
when the card is positioned correctly.
