GUIDELINE FOR USING STRIP-TUBE FRAME

To using tubes on our thermal cyclers with 96-well sample block, the frame is essential. The frame
prevents the heated lid from crushing strip-tubes. When using the 96-well multiwell plate, remove the
frame from the thermal cycler.
The frame is compatible with: individual 0.2ml PCR tubes with flat caps or domed caps;8-strip tubes with
flat caps or domed caps; 12-strip tubes with flat caps or domed caps.
Steps
1. Choose proper frame orientation
The correct orientation depends on the type of tubes (with flat caps or domed caps) check icons
on sides of the frame when loading tubes (refer to the following pictures).
2. Align the frame with the center of the sample wells of the sample block and place the frame at
the edge of the sample wells. Verify the frame is placed firmly without significant shaking.
3. Place strip-tubes into the sample wells of the sample block.
Close the lid and turn the lid knob clockwise ( see the "Tighten" arrow symbol on the top surface
