5.1 Replacing the snap seal
If sample liquid finds its way into the two snap seals of the block, remove them
from the block and wash them separately in a soap solution or in an ultrasonic
bath or replace them.
The removal of the locking devices from the exchangeable Thermoblock is
carried out by pressing both of the side catches beneath the block together and
simultaneously pressing them out of the block (see Fig. 2). Be aware of the
direction when reinserting the snap seal into the block: the directional marking on
the right side must point forward while that on the left side points to the rear.
