Focusing Tray

The 6 channel focusing tray accommodates IPG strips up to 24 cm in
length. Small grooves in the tray allow for easier removal of the IPG
strip after focusing. Detail of these features can be seen on page 24.

The channels in the tray are numbered 1– 6, from front to back of the
IEF100.

The tray fits in the instrument in only one orientation. It is set in
place on the right side of the platform, and moved sidewise to the
left, clamping the tray down against the cold plate. The clamping
mechanism improves the heat transfer for the plastic trays.

There are (+) and (–) marks on the tray and the instrument to help
with proper orientation.
