SiliCycle MiniBlock configurations, together with the reaction tubes and color-coding are depicted in Figure 8.
Glass reaction tubes are provided with a blue Teflon® heat-shrink sleeve at the luer tip. This is to improve sealing against the female luer fitting:
(Figure 4). Insert glass reaction tubes into Pinch-Tube Inserts gently and carefully to avoid snagging or damaging the Teflon® heat-shrink sleeve.
