6.0 LOADING THE CLAMP
This warning symbol is visible in front of the clamp assembly. It is
essential that samples are securely locked into the sample holder
(clamp assembly) before operation.
The clamp is the most critical component of the Genomax, as it
must be screwed down tightly to hold the titer plates (or vials,
centrifuge tubes, etc.) firmly in place. The up-and-down motion of the clamp is extremely
vigorous. Sample holders (titer plates, vials, centrifuge tubes, etc.) must be held securely in the
clamp during operation to prevent damage and leakage.
