Short protocol Homogeniser Precellys
Loading the tube holder
In order to load the tube holder with the 2 ml tubes the white indented plate has to be removed. After
loading place the indented plate centred on the toric joint to hold down the tubes. The aglet provides for
a correct positioning of the indented plate. After starting a run a vacuum system will press the indented
plate onto the tubes which are fixed this way. To build up and keep the vacuum the toric joint has to be
clean, intact and properly positioned.
