out.
Do not touch the heated lid.
Use only suited plastic ware in the TProfessional Basic thermocycler.
Tubes and plates must show good fit when placed in the
thermoblock. Only use tubes that are suited for high temperatures
(tight lids).
The TProfessional Basic Thermocycler contains no user serviceable
parts. Do not open the housing instrument. Service and repair may
only be carried out by the Biometra Service department or otherwise
qualified technical personal.
Do not use the instrument when damages of the housing, block,
cable or other parts are visible.
Prior to connecting the unit to the power source please ensure that
the voltage selector at the bottom of the instrument is set to the
required voltage.
Make sure that the main supply voltage is in accordance with the
label above the power connection (see section 4.2)
Unplug the power cable before you open the TProfessional Basic
Thermocycler. Danger of electric shock!
Make sure that the appliance connector and the plug of the supply
cord are accessible, so you can separate the instrument from the
mains.
Connect the TProfessional Basic Thermocycler to a grounded
socket.
When only few samples are put in the block place additional tubes in
the four corner positions. This is to evenly distribute the lid pressure
and prevents single tubes from excessive pressure. Use of few tubes
may result in damage of the tubes by excessive pressure.
Appropriate safety regulations must be observed when working with
infectious, pathogenic or radioactive material. Ask the responsible
local safety inspector for details.
The TProfessional Basic Thermocycler must not be used with
explosive, flammable or volatile liquids.
Do not place fingers between lid and housing when opening or
closing the lid.
Before opening of the lid, release lid pressure (see section 4.4)
It is not necessary to apply oil into the opening of the block in order
to improve the heat transfer between the block and the sample
tubes.
If you still decide to use oil, do not use silicon oil. Mineral oil may be
used.
