HYBRIDISATION TUBES
The hybridisation tubes are manufactured from durable thick borosilicate glass with a non-drip design.
The tubes must be checked regularly and replaced if any damage occurs. Any damage to the ends of
the tubes can cause them to break or leak when the end caps are inserted.
Large (80mm diameter) tube assembly (FHB16)
Remove the tube end cap which has the two holes in it. Place the filters in the tube and replace the
end cap. A small quantity of Techne O-ring grease (part code 6101351, supplied with the Hybrigene)
must be smeared on the seal to facilitate the insertion of the end caps. Remove the spindle cap and
add the fluids appropriate to the protocol through the hole in the spindle using a syringe. Replace the
spindle cap and press it onto the spindle so that it clicks into place. Note: the tube will not rotate
properly if the cap is not fitted securely.
FHB16 assembly
Small (44mm diameter) tube assembly (FHB36)
Unscrew the tube end cap. Place the filters in the tube and replace the end cap. Remove the spindle
cap and add the fluids appropriate to the protocol through the hole in the spindle using a syringe.
Replace the spindle cap and press it onto the spindle so that it clicks into place.
