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.

the Eppendorf Temperature Verification System.
Adjustment Adjust temperature accuracy and temperature homogeneity of the thermoblock with
the Eppendorf Temperature Verification System. Can only be done by the
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,
refer to the corresponding operating manual.
