Sample Adapter Installation
• Make sure UPHO is connected to a suitable power outlet.
• Load the filled (sample, buffer and beads) and capped sample tubes into
the cavities of the sample adapter, so that they fit in the holes. It is preferred
to position the tubes symmetrically in the sample adaptor to reduce
vibration.
• When all sample tubes are loaded, place the sample cover on the sample
adaptor.
• Open the protective cover on the sample compartment cover by
releasing the cover latch, remove the security screw if present, and slide the
sample adapter (and cover) on to the adaptor retainer ensuring that the
sample adaptor fits over the rectangular metal locator on the adaptor
retainer.
• Thread the security screw on to the adaptor retainer tighten down until
the sample adaptor and cover are securely in position –
Security screw should by finger tight and not over tightened. Please note
that the sample adapter body may wear with prolonged use.
