Page: 15 / 56

The Accessory Test Tube Racks and Test Tube Rack Holders are available in
four sizes and are listed in Table 1-4. All of the Test Tube Rack Holders are
adjustable in seven positions, swinging and locking at 15°, 30° and 45° in
either direction. Figure 1-11 illustrates the Test Tube Rack Holder with the
rack in place.
To remove the rack, spread the metal tabs on either end of the holder and
lift out the plastic Test Tube Rack.
To install the Test Tube Rack Holder onto the shaker platform, remove the
rack and rotate the swing-bed of the holder 90° by pulling the knobs of the
locking pins on either end of the holder outward. The pins are locked
outward by turning the knob 1/4-turn (Figure 1-12).
Align any of the holes in the bottom of the rack holder with the threaded
holes in the platform. Secure the holder with the screws provided.
