Abstract:
1. A method for operating thermal cycler modules, the method comprising: obtaining a predetermined temperature vs. time profile of a sample in a selected thermal cycler module in an array of thermal cycler modules, the array of thermal cycler modules comprising the selected thermal cycler module and a set of thermal cycler modules; and controlling, by a processor, all of the thermal cycler modules in the array of thermal cycler modules so that temperature vs. time profiles for samples in the thermal cycler modules in the array match the predetermined temperature vs. time profile, each of the thermal cycler modules in the array of thermal cycler modules being controlled in response to a source of variation between the thermal cycler modules in the array.
