Opening and closing the device
CAUTION
Risk of burns
Immediately after a PCR run, the heated lid and the sample block may still be hot. There
is a risk of burns on the inside of the lid and on the sample block.
¡
Keep a safe distance from hot components or wear heat-resistant gloves when
opening the device.
¡
Alternatively, allow the device to cool down before opening it.
NOTICE
Damage to the locking mechanism
If the lid is under pressure when opened, this may damage the locking mechanism.
¡
Always reduce the contact pressure on the lid using the lid wheel before opening the
lid.
Opening the lid
The heated lid exerts a constant contact pressure on the samples. You must reduce the
contact pressure before opening the lid.
}
Reduce the contact pressure of the lid. To do this, turn the wheel counterclockwise
until you feel no more resistance.
}
Press the lid sealing button on the front of the device to open the lid.
ü
The lid swings open automatically.
Closing the lid
The intensity of the contact pressure is designed for a fully populated block. When using
only a few samples in the block, place an additional two (empty) tubes of the same
height in the four corner positions of the block. Otherwise, the sample tubes could be
damaged.
Never attempt to close the heated lid by force. This could damage the device.
}
Insert the samples to the block.
}
Use the lid sealing button to close the lid until the button engages with a click.
}
Turn the wheel clockwise until you clearly hear a clicking sound.
