The vessels will be inserted in racks. All reaction vessels which fit in an epMotion rack can be used.
Examples of reaction vessels that can be used:
• Safe-Lock tubes
• Standard reaction vessels 3810X
• PCR vessels
• Conical tubes/centrifuge tubes
• Cryotubes
Level measurement using the optical sensor is more difficult with 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL tubes.
Use Thermoracks or Reservoir Rack modules to temper vessels.
The epMotion can be used with a variety of labware from various manufacturers. Information
on how to expand the labware library can be found in the software operating manual.
Labware may not exceed an overall height of 126 mm. The software generates an error
message if this overall height is exceeded.
