Using this Perkin Elmer GeneAmp PCR System 9600 is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect it to a proper 120V, 60Hz power source (you'll need to provide your own power cord). Then, place your samples in the 24 - well sample block. Set the desired temperature between 4°C and 99.9°C on the control panel. The system's high - speed heating and cooling will get your PCR process done quickly. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. Be aware that since it's a used item, it may have minor scratches from normal use. Also, as we were unable to test it fully due to lack of equipment, use it with a bit of caution at first.
