Quick Start
Upon power-up of instrument, please allow 5 minutes for instrument warm-up.
Upon thaw completion, the vial is raised
approximately 1 cm (0.4 in).
Remove vial immediately and for a few
seconds, manually agitate the vial gently
from side to side to equilibrate the liquid
temperature until no ice can be seen within
the vial. Begin downstream protocol.
Countdown of the last 10 seconds of the
thawing process begins.
Beginning of solid to liquid phase change is
detected by instrument.
Instrument is warmed up and in “ready” state.
Insert a clean, tightly capped frozen
1.8 - 2.0 mL cryogenic vial (below -70°C)
containing up to 1.8 mL volume into the
opening on the top of the instrument.
Push the top of the vial down gently until
the instrument emits a deep dual tone.
The vial will now remain in a depressed
position.
