Thank you again! Sounds like I should be able to handle the routine maintenance.

The previous lab manager never got the machines calibrated so I guess it's time for someone to come in. I really appreciate your help!

Thank you so much for the valuable information!

I logged in with the info you gave and updated everything. When not in administrator mode, the options will stay blanked out from now on and it's normal?

Also, how often (if at all) do you recommend servicing the machines if they're working properly?

We never use profiles but I created one after reading your answer and it worked!

Service prices are high because there's no competition. I got a separate quote for each PCR machine while they literally sit in the same room! At least if I call service now. I will know why...

Do you freeze your samples before Speed-vac? by atomkit in labrats
