4.10 Reducing the risk of a Hybridization Bottle leak
4.10.1 Glass Hybridization Bottles
Avoid over-tightening the cap, which can twist or cause a gap in the O Ring seal.
Turn the cap a few degrees of arc past the point where the cap is seated to the
bottle.
Replace the O Rings before they become worn, flat or cracked. We suggest
replacement after 10 hybridization runs.
4.10.2 50ml Conical Centrifuge Tubes
Be sure to use tubes that can handle the elevated temperatures used in
hybridization. We recommend that you contact your supplier or tube
manufacturer. In general, scientists have found that tubes made from
polypropylene with polyethylene caps provide reliable performance. Tubes made
from polystyrene should be avoided.
When inserting the centrifuge tube into the clamping mechanism, place the
clamp toward the middle of the tube. Pinching the tube near the cap may cause
a leak.
