SECTION 4 — BEAD RUPTOR OPERATION
4.1 LOADING SAMPLE TUBES
When using a 1.5 mL microtube carriage or 2 mL Tube Carriage, a minimum of 4 tubes (lled or empty) are
required per run and must be spaced evenly. The positions of 1, 7, 13, and 19 on the 1.5ml and 2mL tube
carriage are ideal for balancing the tubes (refer to the numbers etched into the tube carriage).
Beyond those locations, the user may load additional tubes in any position without the need to balance the
remaining tubes.
