6 - Operation
Operating the MIO2
6.3.6 Incubating
The incubator slots can be operated with different temperatures.
Validate the temperature profiles before operation.
ATTENTION
Risk of crosstalk. Processes with different slot temperatures not validated
sufficiently could lead to temperature crosstalk between slots.

Always let one slot unoccupied between two slots operated with high
temperature gradients.
Heating up
The MIO2 is not suitable for warming up of frozen microplates.
ATTENTION
Risk of error occurrence. The MIO2 is unsuitable for warming up of frozen
microplates.

Make sure samples and microplates have ambient temperature before
operation.
ATTENTION
Risk of erroneous results. Highly variable fill levels of microplates may lead to
temperature gradients between cavities.

Perform process validation to incubate microplates with variable fill levels.
