Equipping the thermal module

When you use a thermoblock or thermoadapter, plates with uneven bases will be optimally tempered, e.g.,
PCR plates.

Equip the thermal module as follows:

1. Place the plate on the thermoadapter or thermoblock.

2. Place the plate, with thermoadapter or thermoblock, on the thermal module.
