10.
Unload the plate from the instrument.
CAUTION!
PHYSICAL INJURY HAZARD.
During instrument operation, the plate temperature
can reach 100°C. Allow it to cool to room temperature before handling.
Note:
Use Smart Help if the instrument does not eject the plate (see “Request technical support
).
Calibrate for a custom melt curve run
Use this calibration to prepare for high resolution melt analysis runs.
Note:
A custom melt calibration calibrates a custom dye and a melt calibration at the same time.
• Ensure that all calibrations are current (see “View the calibration status on the instrument”
• Add a custom dye (see “Add a custom dye to the instrument”

Select or add a dye, then select a filter set appropriate for your dye's wavelength (see filter-
wavelength table below).
Note:
See your reagent kit documentation for dye name and wavelength information.

The central wavelengths are the optimized wavelengths.
IMPORTANT!
If the selected filter set does not match your reagent kit documentation, then the
incorrect wavelength may be collected during a run.
