This results in an automatic limitation of maximum possible rotational speed

In the case of the ThermoStat plus there is no block identification function
for technical reasons. Please set for max. temperature of 70 °C.

In the case of using DualChip™ microarrays from Eppendorf, hybridization
frames are already placed on the slides.
Four slide positions are provided on the exchangeable Thermoblock for slides
DC.
