FAQs of Eppendorf ThermoMixer F 1.5:
Q: How does the Eppendorf ThermoMixer F 1.5 ensure accurate temperature control for samples?
A: The ThermoMixer F 1.5 features advanced heating elements and feedback sensors to maintain a temperature accuracy and homogeneity of 0.5C at 37C, making it reliable for sensitive biological applications.
Q: What types of processes or experiments can be performed with this mixer?
A: It is optimal for a range of laboratory protocols, including enzyme reactions, sample incubations, mixing of biological samples, and nucleic acid preparation, especially in life science laboratories.
Q: When should I use the timer function versus continuous operation?
A: Use the timer (15 seconds to 99:30 hours) for time-sensitive protocols requiring specific incubation or mixing intervals. Select continuous mode for extended or ongoing processes where timing is less critical.
Q: Where is this instrument best suited within a laboratory setting?
A: Its compact design (175 x 235 x 85 mm) and low noise level (<54 dB(A)) make it ideal for placement on laboratory benches or within temperature-controlled rooms in life sciences and research facilities.
Q: What benefits does the heat-insulating lid provide during operation?
A: The heat-insulating lid effectively minimizes condensation, preserving sample volume and concentration, and ensures consistent thermal conditions throughout the mixing process.
Q: How do the safety features of the ThermoMixer F 1.5 work?
A: Overheat protection and automatic shutoff safeguard samples and users by halting operation if temperature thresholds are exceeded, providing reliable safety for unattended use.
Q: Can the ThermoMixer F 1.5 be used in locations with varying voltage supply?
A: Yes, the unit supports a wide voltage range (100240 V, 5060 Hz), making it compatible with power supplies in different regions, including laboratories across India.
