WARNING! Never heat the block after adding a cleaning solution. Heating the
block with cleaning solution will damage the block, reaction module, and thermal
cycler base.
• Clean the inner lid. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and water to remove debris and solutions
from the inner lid surface. Never use abrasive detergents or rough material that will
scratch the surface. Cleaning the inner lid improves precise sample heating and cooling.
Application Log
Before starting a new run, an instrument initiates a self-diagnostic test to verify that it is
running within specifications. The software records results of this test in the Run log and
Application log file. If you notice a problem in one or more experiments, open the run and
application logs to find out when the problem started happening.
CFX Manager software tracks information about the state of an instrument during a run in the
Application Log (Figure 122). Use these logs to track events that occur on instruments and in
the software and for troubleshooting.
To open the Application log in the main software window, select View > Application Log.
