What does the term 2DMix-Control technology describe/stand for?

2DMix-Control technology describes the ability of the MixMate, ThermoMixer C and ThermoMixers F to mix small sample volumes in various plate and tube formats quickly and in a controlled manner. To achieve this, the interplay of all crucial factors for efficient and controlled mixing, have been optimized. And these are: - Generation of sufficient mixing energy: due to an orbital mixing movement at a high mixing speed and a relatively large mixing radius (1.5 mm) the devices generate enough mixing energy (analogous to g-force in centrifuges) to mix even the smallest volumes efficiently. - Minimized loss of mixing energy: special attention was paid to reducing inherent vibration. Smooth operation combined with reliable stability ensures that all the mixing energy is available for mixing and not wasted through transmission of vibrations to the device or its surroundings. - Controlled transmission of energy from the device to the sample: Minimizing vertical movements enable a plane, 2-dimensional (2D) mixing stroke. This, in conjunction with the reliable plate and tube holders and SmartBlocks, prevents uncontrolled chaotic movements and allows all formats to be held securely, even at high mixing frequencies.

Which cleaning and disinfection agents can be recommended for cleaning and disinfection of ThermoMixer C, ThermoMixer F and ThermoStat C?

Switch off the device, disconnect the mains/power plug and make sure that no liquid can get into the inside of the housing. When cleaning has been completed, the device should only be connected when it is fully dry on the inside and on the outside. Use lint-free cloth and soft bottle brush or cotton swabs for SmartBlocks and SmartExtender. Do not use any aggressive chemicals on the device or its accessories such as strong and weak bases, strong acids, acetone, formaldehyde, halogenated hydrocarbons or phenol. If the device is contaminated with aggressive chemicals, clean it immediately using a mild cleaning agent and wipe it off with dist. water afterwards. Recommended cleaning agents: mild, soap-based lab cleaner dist. water Recommended disinfectants: ethanol (70%) isopropanol (70%) Please follow the detailed safety instructions in the Operating Manual.

Is the housing of ThermoMixer C, ThermoMixer F and ThermoStat C stable against UV irradiation?

A disinfection by UV irradiation cannot be recommended, because discoloration of the housing materials can occur.

Which DNA and RNAse deconatmination agents can be recommended for decontamination of the devices and the SmartBlocks?

We tested DNA away and RNase away and we can recommend to use both agents.

How can the temperature accuracy be verified?

The best possible temperature accuracy can be guaranteed by individually adjusting a SmartBlock. Optimized temperature control for each block type keeps temperature overshoots and deviations caused by external interferences to a minimum. To guarantee optimal performance over the entire period of use, Eppendorf offers a preventive maintenance program and certification services: your Eppendorf ThermoMixers, ThermoStat C as well as the SmartBlocks are regularly cleaned, checked and adjusted. Additional information is available at: https://www.eppendorf.com/epservices . Customers can also verify the temperature accuracy by themself. Eppendorf provides for that purpose the Temperature Verification System – Single Well for Eppendorf Mastercyclers (0056 000.003) in combination with the 384 well Sensor (0056 002.006).

Is it possible to run more than one program in automatic succession on a ThermoMixer or ThermoStat C?

No. Each program has to be chosen and run separately. But the 4 possible steps within a program run in automatic succession.

Can PCR plates be used in SmartBlock plates respectively ThermoMixer FP?

SmartBlock plates and ThermoMixer FP (with the fixed SmartBlock plates) are dedicated for using MTP’s, DWP’s and also other skirted plates which meet the SBS standard. For optimal usage of PCR plates the SmartBlock PCR 96 and PCR 384 in combination with ThermoMixer C or ThermoStat C is the proper choice. These SmartBlocks possess conical bores which surround the conical wells of PCR plates properly for a perfect temperature transition.

Please contact your local Eppendorf Service Team. You find the contact data on our homepage or in the information materials.

What is IQ or OQ and what do I need them for?

Installation and operational qualification; the IQ documents that the device has been delivered and installed correctly. The OQ checks the correct functioning of a device. IQ/OQ ensure that your quality management requirements are met and that your device operates properly and in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

What does the temperature verification include and how often does it need to be carried out?

To ensure that your ThermoMixer delivers reproducible and correct results, temperature verification and adjustment - if required - are strongly recommended. Temperature verification is a very accurate and precise method and complies with all laboratory requirements with regard to documentation and detection in accordance with national and international standards.

How can temperature accuracy be verified?

The best temperature accuracy possible is ensured by the individual adjustment of each SmartBlock. The Eppendorf Temperature Verification System- Single Channel is used to check the temperature accuracy of the thermoblock. In combination with the temperature sensor for the Eppendorf ThermoMixer, the exact temperature in the thermoblock can be measured. You can find further information in the corresponding operating manual.

How can my device be cleaned and which cleaning agents and disinfectants can be used for cleaning and disinfection of ThermoMixer C, ThermoMixer F and ThermoStat C?

Switch off the device, disconnect the mains/power plug and make sure that no liquid can get into the inside of the housing. When cleaning has been completed, the device should only be connected when it is fully dry on the inside and on the outside. Do not use any aggressive chemicals on the device or its accessories such as strong and weak bases, strong acids, acetone, formaldehyde, halogenated hydrocarbons or phenol. If the device is contaminated with aggressive chemicals, clean it immediately using a mild cleaning agent. Use a lint-free cloth and a mild, soapy laboratory cleaner and distilled water. Clean the housing and the thermoblock regularly. Please refer to your operating manual for further information - Maintenance chapter

What types of training or online training do you offer to enable me to improve my skills?

Please visit the Eppendorf webpage about the Eppendorf Training Center or contact your local Eppendorf Service for further information and a quotation.

Is it possible to use the Eppendorf Thermomixer for 24 h and at 7 days?

Yes, this is possible. The customer has just to set the time to endless.
