8.1.
Final QS Tests
All units, which leave INHECO, have to pass through three semi-automatic test
procedures.
8.1.1.
Drawer Test
The device must pass at least 100 drawer cycles with correct Labware detection without
error.
8.1.2.
Performance Test
Finally all important functions are tested and the self test AQS (see chapter 8.3) must run
without error.
8.2.
Calibration and Adjustment
The adjustment of the shaker and/or the calibration of the temperature are done at
INHECO. Settings are stored into the devices EEPROMS and redundant in an INHECO
Database. A redundant check of all data is done. The INHECO Measurement Plate
(IMP) can be used for verifation of shaking amplitude and temperature.
8.3.
Automatically self test AQS
The automatically self test AQS (which is optimized for Incubator shaker MP) is
performing several tests to ensure proper functionality of the device. After the tests are
finished, the device generates an error code (see Firmware Command Set). These tests
are:
-
Drawer Test: Checks opening and closing of the drawer.
- Shaker Test: Tests timing, amplitudes and frequencies of different settings
- Temperature Test: Tests timing and homogeneity of the heating procedure including
boost.
- Duration: 3 min. 30 sec.
With the Incubator shaker DWP an false error could be shown to verify this error we
recommend to use the IMP to see whether it is a false or a true error.
