1 Introduction / 2 Safety precautions
1 Introduction
The 348-well block sensor and the temperature validation system enable validation and
calibration / adjustment of the Mastercycler 384, Mastercycler pro 384 and
1/2
Mastercycler ep 384.
1.1 How to use this manual
This operating manual for the 384-well block temperature sensor is a supplement to the user
manual for the temperature validation system. It is not a replacement.
Before using the 384-well block temperature sensor for the first time, you should also read the
operating manual for the temperature validation system. The current version of the operating
manual is available on the internet at www.eppendorf.com
2 Safety precautions
Risk of burns
Introduction / Safety precautions
When inserting, repositioning and removing the temperature sensor and the silicone
mat during and at the end of validation and calibration, take care not to touch the
heated lid.
Caution must be used when removing or repositioning the temperature sensor during
and at the end of validation or calibration. The silicone mat is subjected to extreme
heat by the heated lid. Allow the silicone mat to cool down with the heated lid open to
around 30 °C or below (approx. 1 – 2 min).
16
The sensor cable should not be kinked outside the jacketed area. Should the sensor
cable be damaged, the temperature sensor should no longer be used.
After cleaning the measurement positions the Mastercycler 384, Mastercycler pro 384
or the Mastercycler ep 384 should not be switched back on immediately as otherwise
traces of the cleaning agent might ignite. The Mastercycler 384, Mastercycler pro 384
or the Mastercycler ep 384 should be ventilated by being left switched off with the lid
open for a period of time.
The safety precautions in the operating manual of the temperature validation system
and the relevant device (Mastercycler 384, Mastercycler pro 384) must be observed
without fail.
