Note:
•The caps of the tubes or film on the microplate must be sealed tightly to
prevent sample evaporation. Tubes or microplates should have heat resistance
of up to about 120°C. For best results, use thin walled tubes designed for
PCR.
•The sample wells of the sample block should keep clean.
•The height of tubes should be the same so that the lid can keep stable and
gives even pressure on each tube.
IMPORTANT!
Do not touch the surface of the sample block or lid surface because they may
be very hot (105°C/221°F or higher)!
