1 Plus Real-

Time PCR Instrument

CAUTION!

Use flat caps for 0.2-mL tubes. Rounded caps can damage the heated cover.

Load the plate.

Open the instrument drawer.

Load the plate onto the plate adapter so that the following criteria are met.

• Well A1 of the plate is in the top-left corner of the plate adapter.
• The barcode faces the front of the instrument.

Note:

Do not remove the black plate adapter before loading a plate or tube strips. If used,

tube strips can fit loosely in the adapter, but the heated cover will apply the appropriate
pressure to seat the tube strips securely in the adapter.

Close the instrument drawer.

When the run ends, unload the plate.

Open the instrument drawer.

Remove the plate.

Close the instrument drawer.
