2. Product Information The InSlide Out Hybridization Oven is designed so its sealed tray maintains a humid condition for In-Situ Hybridization applications without the need to use sealed cover slips. Uses include in-situ RNA amplification, reverse transcription reactions and hybridizations, and immunohistochemical reactions. The InSlide Out can hold up to twenty standard microscope slides on the standard wire rack. An optional slide holder can hold up to eighteen standard microscope slides.
The heater lamp is on continuously while the Oven is heating up. As the required temperature is approached, it starts to flash. When the unit is controlling at the set temperature, the heater lamp flashes intermittently. Heater Lamp Temperature Display * Figure 1 4.2 Setting the Temperature The Temperature Controller has three buttons. When the button on the left ‘*’ is depressed, it will display the set temperature.
4.4 Loading Tray into Heating Chamber Once the Tray Assembly is loaded and the slides prepared, the tray can be loaded into the heating chamber. Open the main door, lift the frame, pivot the latch forward (see Figure 5), and slide the Tray Assembly into the Frame Assembly until it is fully seated against the rear of the Frame Assembly (see Figure 6). Rotate the latch into a vertical position and position the latch over the keeper on the frame, then rotate the Latch Handle ˚180 clockwise (see Figure 7).
6. Fault Diagnosis Symptom 1. Unit does not operate 2. Chamber temperature does not rise when expected 3. Temperature continues to rise when not expected 4. Slides dry out during heating cycle Possible Cause a. Unit not switched on b. Unit not plugged into power supply c. Fuses blown d. Power supply failure Action Required a. Switch on b. Plug in, switch on a. Actual temperature is higher than set temperature b. Temperature control circuit fault a. Check set temperature a.
