4. Place the rotisserie into the oven onto the rotation mechanism, ensuring that the serrated bands at either end of the rotisserie locate onto the steel cogs of the rotation mechanism at the rear of the oven. (B on figure 2). The plastic flanges of the r otisserie locate on to the small wheels on the oven floor .
RPN2510EUM Chapter 6 Rev C 06/2007 9 6. Hybridization using the platform shaker The Hybridization Oven/Shaker is compatible with the hybridization technologies available from GE Healthcare.
RPN2510EUM Chapter 7 Rev C 06/2007 10 Several advantages are associated with performing hybridizations in bottles, namely those of safety and economy as outlined in the introduction. However , the use of bottles for hybridizations and washing procedures requires certain adaptations to standard protocols.
RPN2510EUM Chapter 7 Rev C 06/2007 11 4. Prehybridize the membrane for the specified length of time at a rotisserie speed of 4 rpm. 5. Following prehybridization, turn off the rotisserie, remove the rotisserie from the oven.
RPN2510EUM Chapter 8 Rev C 06/2007 12 8. Maintenance/car e/cleaning of the oven/shak er The GE Healthcare Hybridization Oven/Shaker is designed to provide trouble-free operation. The base of the oven and the shaker tray act as a spills tray and will contain any spillage that occurs during hybridization and washing procedur es.
