2 Intended use
The BiometraTMS is a temperature measuring system for calibrating thermal cy-
clers. The measured temperatures of the sample block under test are compared with
specific predefined values.
NOTICE!The temperature measuring system cannot be used for adjusting the de-
vice. The calibration can only be used to determine and document possible devia-
tions. Adjustment must be carried out separately.
If at the end of the calibration process the control software reports that the thermal
cycler has failed the test, you should contact the Service department to arrange the
temperature readjustment of the device.
Regular calibration of the sample block temperature ensures compliance with the
temperature specifications and thus reliable test results.
The temperature measuring system has a modular design. A simple plug-in connec-
tor system ensures easy replacement of the measuring tree and allows testing ther-
mal cyclers with sample blocks of different sizes. Suitable measuring trees for the
various sample blocks can be obtained via the company Analytik Jena.
The measuring trees that are available allow calibrating automated and manually
operated thermal cyclers.
BiometraTMS can also be used to calibrate the heated lid. This calibration process
can be carried out in addition to the sample block calibration.
The software provides a number of configuration and display options. The intuitive
and easy-to-use structure of the software provides a convenient way to navigate
through the individual steps of the calibration. Information boxes and tool tips make
it easier to understand the process.
The device and its components may only be used for the analyses listed in the user
manual. Only this specified use is regarded as the intended use, ensuring the safety
of the user and the device.
The device must only be operated by specialist personnel trained by Analytik Jena.
