Eppendorf Temperature Verification System - Manual (Page 8)

Temperature Verification System USB – Single-channel — Operating manual
8
The Mastercyclers listed feature a precise system which meets all of the laboratory requirements
for documentation and the obligation to provide supporting documentation.
Furthermore, the block temperature of the Eppendorf Thermomixer and ThermoStat devices can
be measured using the Temperature sensor 1,5 mL and Temperature sensor 384 Well.
The Temperature Verification System USB – Single-channel consists of a digital display device
with connected temperature sensor. Various temperature sensors, which are geometrically
adapted to the various thermoblock bores, are available.
Verification and adjustment is based on a 2-point measurement with the Temperature Verification
System USB – Single-channel at 95 °C and 35 °C. The verification compares the difference
between the block temperature and the measured value using limit values. If the limit values are
exceeded, the adjustment uses the measured values from the Temperature Verification System
USB – Single-channel to set the thermoregulation of the tested device.
The user will be guided through the program via the instructions and the display of sensor
positions on the display. The measurements and calculations are performed automatically.
The verification and adjustment can be optionally output a print-out, which contains the entire
measuring procedure and results, and can be documented. Depending on the device type, the
data can be exported to a MultiMediaCard (MMC) or a USB storage medium.
2.2.2 Design of the temperature sensor
The temperature sensor consists of a grip and a temperature probe.
The grip contains the galvanic separation, adjustment data, and all of the data for the
temperature measurement.
