NOTICE
The strength of the lid contact pressure has been designed for a fully populated block. If
only a few samples are to be used in the block, place an additional two (empty) tubes of
the same height in the four corner positions of the block (see Fig. 6). Otherwise the
sample tube may be damaged from excess contact pressure.
Never attempt to close the heated lid with force! This may damage the device.
