Sleep Mode
The Qubit
®
2.0 Fluorometer has an auto-standby (i.e., sleep) mode
that is triggered after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can also trigger
the stand-by mode by touching the Power button ( ) located on
the top left of the touch screen.
To recover from the standby mode, touch anywhere on the touch
screen. Recovery from standby mode returns you to the same
screen present when sleep mode commenced. After 7.5 hours of
inactivity, touching the screen returns you to the Home Screen
(see below).
Home Screen
When the instrument is turned on, the Home Screen is displayed.
From the Home Screen, you can proceed immediately to the
quantitation assays (DNA, RNA, or protein), choose to calibrate
the instrument with the appropriate standards, access the saved
data, set up the date and time, or adjust the screen brightness.
