6.3.3 Optional: Preheat the system
In
troduction
The Ignite and Ignite+ systems offer optional heating, for procedures that use pre-
heated liquids. The heating block preheats the syringes and holds the temperature of
the syringes in the C and R channels above ambient temperature for the duration of
the run.
IMPORTANT
While C and R syringes are heated independently, they are only
able to maintain a maximum offset of 30°C. For example, if the R
syringe temperature is set to 75°C and the C syringe temperature
is set to 25°C, the actual C syringe temperature will reach 45°C.
The table below gives the limitations on temperature for each of the instruments.
Instrument Temperature
Ignite
Up to 75°C
Ignite+
Up to 65°C

Be
fore you begin, make sure that the heating insert or inserts are correctly sized for the
