4 Operating the Main Unit
Important!
Before starting a larger project it is advised to calculate the number of cores that will
be inserted to PCR tubes, so placing a sufficient number of cleaning blocks
accordingly.
The number of cleaning spots depending on the puncher diameter are the following:
Puncher diameter
Number of cleaning spots
0.6mm
252
1mm
144
1.5mm
72
2mm
50
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use punchers of larger diameters (1,5 or 2 mm) for PCR extraction,
as smaller tissue cores (for example, 0.6 and 1 mm in diameter) may bind to surfaces other than of
the PCR tube due to electrostatic charge.
