• Mode

  Select Constant temperature mode to set the temperature using the Thermostat section of the Online Sample Manager Control parameters. Use this mode to store samples at a constant temperature across multiple runs. This is the default mode, which is recommended in most cases.

  Select Variable temperature mode to set the temperature using the Enable Analysis section of the Advanced Method Setup parameters. In this mode, the temperature can be varied from run to run.

  Use Variable temperature mode with care. All samples in the storage compartment are exposed to the set temperature for any current method. Unintended change of the sample temperature may cause degradation. It may take some time to reach the set temperature.

• Thermostat

  Click the down-arrow and select the installed device (Cooler or Thermostat) from the drop-down list.

  The Online Sample Manager Cooler does not offer a heating function. A temperature higher than the previous setting, or higher than ambient, may only be reached after a long time, if ever.

Define Sample Containers

Displays the Define and edit Wellplates dialog box, which contains a list of standard preconfigured wellplates plus any custom wellplates that have been added.
