T-Heater 4x4mini cycler is compact and easy to use. It is particularly useful as a personal device for PCR small number of samples at one time. It is suitable for mobile applications.

Start up

Connect the unit to 12 V DC power adaptor and plug in the adaptor to the wall outlet. Upon connecting to 12 V DC,switch on the device and the unit enters MENU page.

Select a program

Up to fifteen PCR programs can be stored in the unit. The programs are alphabetically ordered “A” thru “O”. The first 5 programs (A thru E) are shown in the first MENU page screen. The next 5 programs are in the second MENU page. By tapping the "↓" key, one can toggle between the three pages. The thermal cycle parameters, namely the temperature and the duration of each step and the number of cycles, are shown in the MENU page. To select a program (to edit or to run), just tap the area of the screen where the parameters of the program are shown. Upon tapping, the PROG page appears .

Edit a program

To edit a program, first enter its PROG page (see "Select a program"). In its PROG page, select the parameter to be adjusted by touch the parameter value. Once the parameter is highlighted,the color changes from red to white, adjust the value by turning the rotary knob clockwise (to increase) or counterclockwise (to decrease) until the desired value is reached. Leaving the knob unchanged for a second, the thermal profile graph display is readjusted to show the new value. Repeat above steps to edit another parameter.

Run a program

Once a program is selected, the screen shows the PROG page (see "Select a program"), and the heating lid start to wrok. By tapping the "START" key on the screen, the thermal cycling program starts, and the program shows the “waiting” mode until the heated lid reaches 85℃. The horizontal line flashes when the current segment is running.
