We've been using FAST cycles for ages; they basically involve slightly
higher reaction temps and require variation of the reaction cartridge
temp during a cycle. The gradient on the 120 is also run at a higher flow
rate. The protocols are in the back of the manual.
I think there is a super-fast cycle which uses the new small volume
cartridge; this requires some plumbing changes, I believe. I don't know
what the status of these is.
