In certain intervals the Biometra TRIO software will automatically recommend to exe-
cute the Extended Self-Test. Although it is not necessary to perform the test it is highly
recommendable to follow the instructions and to let check the instrument itself.
Before starting the Extended Self-Test insert a microplate or, if applicable, two strips or
a row of tubes to the first and last column of the sample block (see Fig. 71). It is very im-
portant to load the block with plastic ware since during the Extended Self-Test the
heated lid is tested and this test can only be executed properly with plastic ware in-
serted. Also the position of the plastic ware is important to ensure optimal pressure dis-
tribution and horizontal levelling of the heated lid.

If the plastic ware is properly inserted and the lid is closed the test can be started. To
start the Extended Self-Test press:
