The calibrator used in the thermal cycler calibration has its own accuracy. The accuracy of the TAS system is ± 0.1°C.
If this error message appears immediately after installation of the TAS system, it might be because the computer does not receive probe calibration data. Please copy the “Calibration data” file from the USB that was received with the TAS package to the “Calibration” file on C driver.
The Performance Test uses a pre-determined series of temperature steps to analyze the thermal performance of the cycler and provides the results of the analysis. To run a successful Performance Test, the thermal cycler must be programmed with the same designated steps as those of the test. Please contact us for more details.
Recommended: Direct loading of 6 μl per well onto agarose gel.
No. The BlueAmp 100Marker w/ FluoDye is a ready-to-use product. You can load 6 μl per well directly onto the agarose gel.
Standard 10x objective lens included; 20x objective lens also available for optional purchase. Users can switch lenses based on their applications.
The FOV range of the 10X objective lens is 2.6 mm X 2.0 mm, and the FOV range for the 20X objective lens is 1.3 mm X 1.0 mm.
EzScopes have been rigorously tested and can endure such environments. However, to reduce corrosion caused by condensed water droplets, we strongly recommend leaving the EzScope for 1-2 hours after placing it in the incubator until the temperature of the instrument has equilibrated before connecting it to the power and placing samples for observation. This will reduce the temperature changes that occur when the cell sample comes in contact with the instrument stage.
There will be very little impact. Of course, the proper way to do this is to pass the cables through the dedicated equipment port on the incubator. But if your incubator does not have such a port, you can still clamp the signal and power cables between the door and the hermetic gasket. The hermetic gasket in the accessory pack of the EzScope can be used when necessary to cover the cable and close the gap to reduce leakage as well as to protect the cable.
You can simply wipe with regular 70% alcohol. Please do not to use too much disinfectant and prevent liquid from leaking into the instrument.
