To load or unload the hybridization chamber
Load the samples into the oven as follows:
1. Open the oven door. If the rotator is in motion, it will stop moving once the oven
door is opened.

press the bottles into the upper and lower clips until locked in place. See picture

For stable control, the set point must be a minimum of 5 degrees above ambient.
The oven and rotator may be hot. Before handling, lower the oven temperature to <35
°C and allow it to cool, or wear heat-resistant gloves.
When loading samples onto the rotator, be sure to balance the load between the racks.
Also take care in balancing the loads horizontally on the racks themselves.
