Set the XYP
Instrument Heater
Temperature
Refer to your assay kit instructions to see if the assay needs to be
analyzed at a particular temperature. If the instructions indicate that
the XYP instrument heater is needed, you must manually set the
heater to the specified heat setting. Use the heater only with the XYP
instrument heater block in place.
Any temperature that you set remains in effect until you set another
temperature or turn off the XYP instrument plate heater.
The system displays the target temperature in the entry field below
the ON button. Before the heater block temperature reaches the new
temperature setting, the XYP Heater Temperature thermometer
appears red. Upon reaching the target temperature, the thermometer
turns green. See “System Monitor” on page 7-31 for more
information about the system monitor.
Prior to being turned on or set, the ON button appears gray and
disabled.
‹ To set the XYP instrument heater temperature:
1. Insert the XYP instrument heater block into the plate holder.
2. Click the ON button. The light on the button turns green and the
thermometer fluid turns red as it raises to reach the target
temperature.
3. Click and drag the blue arrow on the XYP instrument Heater
Temperature thermometer to the temperature you want the XYP
instrument heater block to maintain.
4. Wait for the heater to reach your selected temperature and
stabilize, and the thermometer to turn green before processing
samples.
