We're setting up a DIYBio lab in Seattle (HiveBio) and have a bunch of donated equipment. The thermocycler is this model:

Ericomp Twin block system; Easy Cycler Series; Model: EZ cycler; Datecode: 9534;P/N TCX20A-110/M5;

We're looking online and can't find a manual for it - does anyone happen to have a manual of this, or a similar model, or have any good ideas of where one could be obtained? (I already contacted an ebay seller who is selling a similar model - no reply yet)

Thank you

If you can't find it online and no one else has it to share, you're
pretty much out of luck. That was my experience with a CO2 incubator.
However, there are some companies that might have these manuals for
sale (probably ~$30).

You win!

I went through the same very frustrating search about a year ago. The good news is that your unit likely has stored programs that can be modified to do whatever you need or you can program new ones from scratch. I'm backed up till the end of next week and can send you a photocopy of my photocopy of the manual.

The best news was these units just keep on going. I did a side by side test at a friend's university lab and got identical results although 30% slower because the newer units ramp the temperature up and down really fast.

I'm pretty good at just pushing buttons and figuring out how things work but this beast really wants a manual.

Send me an email and I'll get you what you need.

hello,

I was just doing a search about the Ericomp Twin block system and I found your mails. We have one in the lab but we don't have the manual. We have fixed it and we want to check if it works perfectly, but we don't have the manual.

Could you send a copy of the manual to me if you have it?

Thanks

Juana

Zeb/Juana,
The Wet Lab DIYBio space in San Diego needs this manual as well.  Any chance you can send it over to me in a PM?
Thanks much!
