• IEC 61326-2-6 Optional features and spare parts The following optional features can be ordered separately from PerkinElmer: • Cooling block: the cooling block is designed to cool the plates once the incubation/shaking is over. The cooling block allows for quicker cooling of the nests. Typically, one cooling block in the middle nest will do but for rapid cooling, place one cooling block in each nest. - Page 26 Part number for ordering: 1296-2090 • Plate holder: the TriNEST incubator-shaker unit has three plate holders: one for each of the three chambers. The plate holder not only serves as a drawer to insert the plate into the instrument, it also has a spillage prevention mechanism whereby it raises the plate against the chamber's ceiling where the plate remains while in the instrument.
