After Use
1. When you have finished heating samples, remember that parts of the unit
– the tubes, blocks and associated accessories – may be very hot. Take
the precautions listed earlier. We recommend that the blocks should be
allowed to cool to 70°C before being removed from the Dri-Block
® .
They will still have to be handled with care
2. If you need to remove an insert block while it is hot, screw the extractor
tool into the thermometer hole and lift the block out vertically. Never
leave the extractor tool in the block while it is being used in the Dri-
Block
