Thermorack TMX
Thermoracks TMX are designed for use with the thermomixer. The Thermorack TMX is lighter than a
standard thermorack and enables higher speeds during mixing. The Thermorack TMX has a low thermal
capacity, but a fast heat transfer. The Thermorack TMX quickly reaches the target temperature, but cannot
maintain this temperature for a long time after temperature control.
The Thermorack TMX is available with installed adapters for vessels with a volume of 0.5 mL.

8.1.5 PrepRack
Abb. 8-6: PrepRack
Fig. 8-6: PrepRack
The PrepRack is specially designed for use with the magnet finger module. You can also use the PrepRack
as the standard rack.
The PrepRack has 24 vessel bores which are numbered by row-by-row. The corresponding lid holder is at
the right of the vessel bore. The lid holder vertically clamps the tube lids.
You can equip the PrepRack in the same way as the thermorack and the 0.5/1.5/2.0 mL rack (see p. 73).
The PrepRack is designed to be used on the thermomixer and can be tempered.
The optical sensor detects the PrepRack using its code.
The PrepRack is transported with the gripper.
