The ABI PRISM Snap-On Compression Pad/plate assembly may stillbe hot after the Zymark ® Twister Microplate Handler loads it into the Plate Handler’soutput stack. Please wait at least 30 seconds before manually handling the Snap-OnCompression Pad/plate assembly.IMPORTANT! Performance of the Optical 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycling Plates withthe Zymark Twister Microplate Handler has not been verified. Therefore, whenrunning multiple Optical 96-Well Fast Plates on the 7900HT instrument, AppliedBiosystems recommends that you load and unload the plates manually.See Appendix C, “Kits, Reagents, and Consumables,” for a list of availableconsumables, requirements, and purchasing instructions.Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System and SDS Enterprise Database User Guide 1-9DRAFTSeptember 1, 2004 11:38 am, CH_Overview.fm
