Fig. 5-14: VAC Thermo Lid
The Vac Thermo Lid has a block with a high heat capacity. The Vac Thermo Lid is heated on a thermal
module. On the vacuum unit, air is sucked in through the slits in the Vac Thermo Lid. The air heats up on
the block and flows through the filter plates.
With the Vac Thermo Lid, you can optimize automated nucleic acid preparation. You can minimize the
alcohol in filter plates, the risk of contamination from alcohol is reduced.
The Vac Thermo Lid can be placed on a thermal module and on the vacuum unit.
The gripper transports the Vac Thermo Lid.
The Vac Thermo Lid cannot be placed on the thermomixer.
