Replace the two thermal pads (P/N 064999) on the well plate tray annually.
1. Remove the well plates from the tray.
2. Starting at a corner, peel off the existing thermal pad from the tray. The pad is
made of a sticky material, but there is no adhesive attaching it to the tray.
3. Remove the pad from the other
side of the tray.
4. Remove the new thermal pads
from their bags.
5. Thermal pads are shipped with
protective covering on both
sides. One side is clear and the
other is patterned. Peel off the
clear covering from the pad.
6. Note the two slightly recessed
rectangles on the well plate tray
(see Figure 5-38
).

tray (see Figure 5-39

from the top of the pad.

pad on the right side of the tray.
