Heated lid
To release the heated lid, lift the lid catch and the lid will open. To close the lid, push down gently
until the catch clicks in place.
Do not close the lid without tubes being fitted in the block.
Tubes or reaction vessels
Omega Engineering, Inc. does not recommend any specific tube or reaction vessel other than
those described in this manual. We recommend using reaction volumes between 20 and 200µl.
The tubes must withstand a pressure of 1 atmosphere at 100°C. Any vessel must be able to
withstand the temperatures you are using without any danger of them deforming to the point where
they fracture.
To test your tubes, put 25µl of water into each of 5 tubes and subject them to a typical thermal
cycling protocol. At the end of the program, measure the volume remaining using a micropipette. A
loss of more than 1 or 2µl indicates a vapour leak.
