5.2 Adjusting the Mastercycler nexus/pro/ep
5.2.1 Overview
The adjustment program checks the temperature accuracy of the thermoblock and adjusts the
temperature measurement in the Mastercycler.
The Mastercycler heats the thermoblock to 95 °C and then to 35 °C. In the process, the user will
be prompted to measure the temperature in 6 different block bores that are shown on the display.
The temperature measurement in the Mastercycler will be adjusted using the externally
measured values. The procedure lasts approx. 30 minutes.
The Mastercycler outputs the measuring results on the display and a printer or a USB flash drive.
The CycleManager generates a protocol of the measurement on the monitor. The protocol can be
printed or saved as a text file using the File menu.
The following Mastercyclers save the measuring results on a MultiMediaCard:
•
Mastercycler ep
•
Mastercycler pro
The following Mastercyclers save the measuring results on a USB stick:
•
Mastercycler pro
•
Mastercycler nexus
Then, an adjustment is always confirmed by a verification.
