Instrument Heater
Temperature
Refer to your assay kit instructions to see if the assay needs to be
analyzed at a particular temperature. If the instructions indicate that
the Luminex XYP instrument heater is needed, you may manually
set the heater to the specified heat setting. The user definable heater
range is 35°C to 60°C. Use the heater only with the Luminex XYP
instrument heater block in place.
Note: Do not use standard 96-well microtiter plates. Luminex
recommends using one of the following microtiter plates over the
heater block sent with the 100 IS:
• Polyfiltronics 96-well microtiter plate, 200 µL, catalog #7703-
1902, black.
• Costar® Thermowell® thin-wall polycarbonate 96-well plate
(nonskirted), model P.
Any temperature that you set remains in effect until you set another
temperature or turn off the Luminex XYP instrument plate heater.
The system displays the target temperature in the entry field below
the Turn ON button. Before the heater block temperature reaches the
new temperature setting, the XYP Heater Temperature thermometer
appears red. Upon reaching the target temperature, the thermometer
turns green. See “System Monitor” on page 6-40 for more
information about the system monitor.
