8.4.2 Self-test
The self-test function allows you to perform a quick check regarding the following attributes of the
thermoblock without requiring an external measurement system:
•Heating and cooling rates
•Proper functioning of the thermoregulation circuits
•Temperature homogeneity in each of the three block zones and across the entire block
After a successful self-test, a certificate can be generated in PDF format.
A separately available self-test USB key is required for performing the self-test (see Accessories on p. 105).
Please refer to the documentation of the self-test USB key for a detailed description of the self-test function.

administrator.
The Eppendorf Temperature Verification System is required for the Verification and
Adjustment functions (see Accessories on p. 105). For information on how to use this system,
