Pausing and Resuming a Run
A running protocol may be temporarily paused from the protocol status screen. During a
pause, the thermal cycler continues heating or cooling to the target temperature, while the lid
temperature is maintained.
TIP: After a power failure, the C1000 Touch thermal cycler automatically resumes
running a protocol but also displays a warning message.
To pause and then resume a running protocol:
1. Touch the Pause button on the status screen.
WARNING! Pausing a step can adversely change the outcome of the PCR
reaction. If the protocol is paused during a temperature step, the PCR reaction
stays at the target temperature for a longer hold time than the protocol step
requires.
