5.4.1 Installing the Ice Bath and Buffer Tray

A lever (2), which needs to be pushed forward, is located on the underside of the ice bath (1).

Now push the tray onto the dovetail holder (3) from the front. Clamp it down by pushing the lever (2, Fig. 28) towards the rear.

The ice bath can be placed on the stage separately for preparation.

Push the buffer tray (5) in as far as it will go (small pins (4) guide it at the side and front).

It is held in place by three strong magnets, which are integrated into the bottom of the buffer tray.

Cover the buffer tray (5) with a Plexiglas lid (6).

Now fill the ice bath with crushed ice.

Cover the buffer tray and fill it with cooled buffer solution.

To remove the buffer tray from the ice bath, pull on the rounded edges care- fully (7). They help to remove the tray, as they are not magnetic.
