8.3 Thermoblocks and Thermoadapters for PCR plates
A thermoblock consists of a thermoadapter and a removable plate. For the epMotion, the Thermoblock and
the removable plate form a unit.
Thermoblocks can be tempered on a thermal unit.
Store the thermoblock in the laboratory refrigerator to cool it.
The Thermoblock is transported by the gripper with the plate. The Thermoblock has recesses for the
gripper.
