    What to do if I get a High Temperature Error on my StatSpin ThermoBrite S500-12?
    • C
      Cheryl BradyAug 3, 2025
      If your StatSpin Laboratory Equipment displays a high temperature error, make sure that the fan on the underside of the unit isn't blocked. Also, position the unit at least 12 inches (0.3048m) away from the wall.

    How to troubleshoot poor results on slides with StatSpin ThermoBrite S500-12?
    • A
      ashleygonzalezAug 15, 2025
      If you are getting poor results on slides with your StatSpin Laboratory Equipment, verify the selected protocol against the probe manufacturer’s recommendation. Also, ensure that the Humidity Control Strips are in place and moist, the cover slip sealant was applied, the plate is heating, the lid is properly closed, and the air intake and outlet are not obstructed.

    Why can't I set the temperature above 70º C on my StatSpin Laboratory Equipment?
    • M
      Matthew RogersAug 20, 2025
      If you can't set the temperature above 70º C on your StatSpin Laboratory Equipment, verify the program mode, as you cannot exceed preset limits. Also, verify the limits under the programming section.

    Why can’t I find “Create a Program” on my StatSpin ThermoBrite S500-12 Laboratory Equipment?
    • K
      kimberlyharrisAug 25, 2025
      If you can’t find the “Create a Program” option on your StatSpin Laboratory Equipment, it might be because more than 40 programs have already been stored. In this case, you can only edit an existing program.
