CellTec Mini Section Dryer 4

Specication
The CellTec Mini Section Dryer is a small footprint instrument which can be placed
atthemicrotomeforimprovedlaboratoryworkow.Thesectiondryeroperates
by circulating digitally controlled warm air from the base of the instrument, which
risesthroughtheslidestainingracks.Thisefcientairowacrossthesurfaceof
the slides enables sections to be rapidly dried, with sections dried in approximately
10-20minutesat65˚C.TheinstrumentcanbettedwithanoptionalLEANTimer
which enables a user to track the drying process for up to four racks.The LEAN
Timer utilises both visual and audible indicators, to alert a user that a rack has been
dried for a correct amount of time, and is ready for staining.The Mini Section Dryer
features digital control, over temperature cut out and miniature circuit breakers for
safety.

Location
The product must be placed on a smooth, level and sturdy work surface. Suitable
foruseinambienttemperatures5°Cto40°Cwithamaximumhumidity80%
(temperature31˚C)decreasingto50%(temperature40˚C).
Operating Instructions
1. Place the Mini Section Dryer on a smooth and level surface.
2. Connect the mains plug to the electrical supply and switch on the socket (Ensure
the power supply is properly earthed).
Note: As the socket is switched on, the fans at the rear of the section dryer
willbegintooperate.Thisisentirelynormalandensuresthataowofairis
always passing through the heating elements utilised in the section dryer.This
enables the section dryer to reach a set temperature more rapidly, and also
ensures the heating elements cool more quickly once the section dryer is turned
off.
3. Turn on the Mini Section Dryer.
4. Selectthedesiredtemperature(RecommendedTemperature60˚C)
A. Press the DOWN arrow then release it (do not hold down the DOWN
arrowcontinuouslyfor5seconds)
B.The display will show SP1 alternating with the current set temperature.
C.To change the set temperature press the UP key to increase the value or
the DOWN key to decrease it.These keys increase or decrease the value one
digit at a time, but if the button is pressed for more than one second the value
increases/decreases rapidly and after two seconds pressed, the speed increases
even more to allow the desired values to be reached rapidly.
D. Exiting the Set mode is achieved by pressing the P key or automatically if no
keyispressedfor15seconds.Afterthattimethedisplayreturnstothenormal
function mode.

E.The heater indicator will illuminate to show heater activity.
F.The instrument will then warm up to the desired temperature, you will
observe the temperature rise on the display.
G.Theinstrumentisdesignedtowarmupquickly(roughly3to5minutesto
reach60˚Cat220V).
Example: For an instrument operating in a 220v region and set to maintain
atemperatureof60˚C.Theinstrumentwillinitiallywarm,andslightlyover
shootingthesettargettemperature(bybetween1-2˚C).Theheaterwillthen
stop and allow the instrument to cool and drop below the desired working
temperaturebyabout2-3˚C.Theinstrumentwillthenheatagainandonceagain
overshootingthesettemperatureby1-2˚C.Theinstrumentwillthenonceagain
coolanddropbelowthesettemperatureby2-3˚C.Theinstrumentwillthen
heatandmaintaintheworkingtemperatureat+/-1˚C,byalternatingheating
and cooling.The iterative process over shooting the set temperature and then
coolingisa“fuzzylogic”programmeutilisedbythetemperaturecontrollerto
learn the ambient conditions, in order to maintain accurate temperature control.
5. ItisrecommendedthatwhentheMiniSectionDryerisrstturnedon,once
it has reached the set temperature the instrument should be left for 20
minutes before use, to allow the dryer chamber to fully equilibrate to the set
temperature.
6. The lid of the Mini Section Dryer has to be closed in order for the heaters on
the section dryer to operate. If the door of the section dryer is open, power to
the heaters is dis-engaged.
7. As slide racks are placed or removed from the chamber, the door will be open
and consequently the heater dis-engage.This will result in the temperature of
the chamber dropping from the set value. Once the door is closed the heaters
will re-engage and the temperature of the chamber will quickly return to the set
temperature.
