Install the instrument in a cool, dry location free from dust, direct
sunlight or strong lights. The instrument should be placed away from
corrosive gasses, strong magnetic fields, and heat sources. Allow at
least 4 inches on all sides of the instrument for proper air circulation.
Be sure that the air vent at the back of the instrument is not blocked. If
using two instruments, they should be placed at least 3 feet apart.
If samples are processed for an extended time period, many
cycles or without a pause between cycles, thermal breakdown of
the sample tube may occur. Be sure to follow manufacturers
guidelines for lysing kits and tubes.
Always disconnect power to the unit before any cleaning procedure.
Do not apply cleaning solutions directly to the tube holder or chamber.
Do not use corrosive agents while cleaning. Do not submerge the
instrument.

1. Loading Tubes
1.1 Disengage the locking latch (as shown below), turn the knob counter-clockwise and remove
the tube retainer.
1.2 The tube holder may be filled in or out of the instrument. To remove, simply lift off the shaft.
Place sample tubes into the tube holder and press down until seated. If less than 24
samples are used, they should be evenly distributed in the tube holder. If removed, the tube
holder can then be replaced, making sure the two bumps on the holder line up with the
indentations on the shaft.
