Instrument
The interchangeable sample block modules of the 7900HT instrument allow it to
support a variety of consumable formats listed in Table 1-1.
Compression
Pads for the
ABI PRISM
96-Well Optical
Reaction Plates
To ensure optimal heat transfer, Applied Biosystems recommends using compression
pads when running the ABI P
RISM 96-Well Optical Reaction Plates.
If you are going to run the plate:
• Individually using the SDS software, then apply a standard compression pad
• As part of a batch using the Automation Controller Software, then apply an
ABI P
RISM Snap-On Compression Pad
IMPORTANT! The ABI PRISM
™
Snap-On Compression Pad/plate assembly may still
be hot after the Zymark
®
Twister Microplate Handler loads it into the Plate Handler’s
output stack. Please wait at least 30 seconds before manually handling the Snap-On
Compression Pad/plate assembly.
IMPORTANT! Performance of the Optical 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycling Plates with
the Zymark Twister Microplate Handler has not been verified. Therefore, when
running multiple Optical 96-Well Fast Plates on the 7900HT instrument, Applied
Biosystems recommends that you load and unload the plates manually.
