Example: Roche PVT rack
Racks are available in different sizes and shapes. Roche PVT racks have been designed
especially for the system. Loading and unloading the system with these racks is very easy. In
order to fasten the rack onto its tray, it must be engaged from above into pins, pushed
forward against a spring, lowered and snapped in place.
