3 Key Functions

“CE”，can be used to change “+, -” when editing

“Right/Left”，moves the cursor one position to

the left or right during file parameter setting.

“Up/Down”，moving the cursor one position up or

down during file parameter setting.

“Enter”，press it to accept the present parameter

settings displayed on the screen.

“Function”, press any button to accept the

current items displayed above the buttons.

“Numbers & Letters”,

select the letter by pressing

the key until your selection

appears on the screen.

4 Inspection before Power-up

Before switching the power on, please ensure that:

1) Supply voltage matches the voltage rating label on the instrument. (refer to

Chapter 2);

2) The plug has been inserted into the power socket;

5 Power-on Procedures

Turn on the power (i.e. turn the power switch to position ‘1’), the MultiGene Mini

Thermal Cycler will beep 4 times, and the LCD will display ‘ ’. This

means the device is self-testing, which takes about 1-2 minutes. After the self-test is

complete, the main menu will be displayed, and the device is ready for the following

operations, editing, accessing, modifying, or deleting a file.

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION GUIDE

There are eight menu selections for the MultiGene Mini Thermal Cycler. In this

chapter, we will explain operation, for example, how to edit, access, modify, delete,

or run a protocol file and how to set parameters.

Warning!

If an abnormal sound or display appears on start up or if a failure error

during the Self Test mode, Turn off the power immediately and contact

Labnet or your distributor

Note:

If the number of samples is less than the number of wells in the block,

the sample tubes should be evenly distributed over the block, in order

to ensure that the heated lid will evenly press on the tops of the sample

tubes. This also ensures that both the block’s load and the temperature

distribution to each tube are even.

Note:

Before closing the cover, turn the knob counter-clockwise according to

the knob diagram until there is a "click....." Please note that the knob

can be tightened by turning it clockwise, After closing the cover but

before power on, turn the knob clockwise until you hear a click, then

turn the knob one more turn.

When the knob is turned clockwise or counter-clockwise, you will hear a

"click" sound, To open pull the release latch with your finger; and turn

the knob counter-clockwise.
