Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How can I sign in as an administrator to the MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler (Cat. No. A37835, A37835, A38076, A38077) and connect to the cloud? What is the default admin password?

The default admin password/PIN is 0000 + the last 4 digits of the instrument serial number. For example, if the serial number was 1101234567, then the default admin password would be 00004567.

What is the optimal ramp rate for my thermal cycler?

There is no universal ramp rate for a thermal cycler because both the block and sample ramp rates are different for each thermal cycler. The sample ramp rate changes with the volume of the sample since more time and energy are required to heat higher sample volumes. The ramp rate may also need to be changed for a particular PCR assay or primer pair if you are trying to use the same PCR assay on two different thermal cyclers, for example.

As a reference, the block ramp rate commonly used with DreamTaq Polymerase on the MiniAmp thermal cycler is 3.0 C/sec. In a 50 µL PCR reaction, this translates to a sample ramp rate of ~1 C/sec.
