3.1 Temperature control mode
“Control Mode” represents the default temperature control mode after the system is
turn on, and it includes two modes of “Block” and “Tube”.
“Block” mode only considers the temperature control of module during temperature
ramp. As the temperature ramp of reagent is lagging behind that of module, the
actual temperature change of reagent is inconsistent with our settings that the actual
time of reagent reaching set temperature is shorter than the set time (see the figure
below for the relation between module temperature and reagent temperature).
“Tube” mode considers the lagging reagent temperature ramp, and provides an
overshoot process after reaching set temperature to enable reagent to reach the set
temperature more quickly. If setting time equal to that of “Block” mode, the actual
time for reagent reaching set temperature is obviously extended (see the figure
below for the relation between module temperature and reagent temperature).
