the Block
To place a sample tray or plate onto the block:
1. Lift the sample tray from the 96-well base and place it in the sample block.
Place the MicroAmp tray or plate so that well H12 is located at the upper right
corner of the tray.
IMPORTANT! Do not place the base into the sample block.
2. Slide the heated cover forward.
Note: Ensure that the cover is pulled completely forward for a proper seal.
3. Pull the heated cover lever down to engage the heated cover with the reaction
plate.
4. Process the samples
IMPORTANT! Do not open the cover when the block temperature is above 27 °C
because sample caps may pop off or jam.
