Thermo Scientific appliedbiosystems SeqStudio Flex Series - Preheat the Instrument Oven and the Detection Cell; Check for Leaks and Spills

Preheat the instrument oven and the detection cell
Preheat the instrument oven and the detection cell while you prepare for a run. The detection cell
temperature is set by the software. If the oven is not at the set temperature when you start a run, the
first injection cannot begin until the oven reaches the set temperature. This wait time aects the time at
which the run finishes.
The preheat function automatically turns o after the time specified for the power save duration (see
“Set the power save duration (administrator only)” on page 459).
We recommend that you preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes before you start a run if the instrument
is cold.
As temperatures stabilize, they may fluctuate slightly when they reach the set-point.
