Features
Thermomixer comfort / Thermomixer R
Operating Manual
The Thermomixer comfort / Thermomixer R offers many options for temperature control and
mixing of liquids in the microliter and milliliter ranges:
• In exchangeable thermoblocks liquids can be simultaneously mixed and
temperature-controlled
– in 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 2.0 ml micro test tubes (e.g. Eppendorf Safe-Lock and PCR tubes),
– in Falcon tubes 15 and 50 ml,
– in 1.5 and 2 ml Cryo tubes,
– in 5 ml test tubes made from plastic or glass
– as well as MTP or DWP with any bottom contours, incl. PCR plates
• Cooling down the samples to 13 °C below room temperature is achieved by Peltier cooling.
Two special functions extend the area of application of theThermomixer comfort / Thermomixer R
• Interval mixing:
Continuous alternation between mixing phase and standstill where mixing frequency and
duration of the mixing and pause functions can be freely selected.
• Program mode:
In addition to a normal mixing/temperature control run two combined, consecutive mixing/
temperature control runs can be freely programmed. When the first run is completed, the
second run will switch on automatically so that two different treatments of the same liquid can
be carried out.
With the Eppendorf IsoRack, a total of 24 micro test tubes can be placed on an exchangeable
thermoblock. The IsoRack is part of the IsoTherm system. This means that with the Thermomixer
comfort / Thermomixer R and the IsoTherm system, micro test tubes can be handled on the lab
bench at all the temperatures that are relevant for everyday lab use.
The robust, space-saving design of the Thermomixer comfort / Thermomixer R combined with
the chemical-resistant plastic housing and the keypad make this Eppendorf device another
professional companion in your daily routine.

IsoTherm system (optional accessory)
Hint!
Operating Manual
With the IsoTherm system the samples can be cooled efficiently and at a constant temperature
for several hours and then be thawed gently.
In addition, the tube holder serves as a working aid during the filling of micro test tubes and the
preparation, sorting, distribution, transporting, storing and freezing of samples in micro test
tubes.
The IsoTherm system includes the components IsoRack, IsoPack, IsoSafe and PCR-Cooler.
Features
• IsoPack and IsoSafe
Cooling batteries for -21°C and 0 °C which allow temperature-sensitive samples to be
stored for hours on the lab bench in micro test tubes and in a corresponding insulated box
(IsoSafe).
• IsoRack
Tube holder for 24 micro test tubes (0.5 ml or 1.5/2.0 ml ) each to transfer the tubes from the
cooling battery to the exchangeable thermoblocks. The lockable and stackable,
snap-together IsoRacks are also particularly suited to the storage of micro test tubes in
refrigerators or freezers. The IsoRacks can be autoclaved. The spacing of the test tubes in
the IsoRack is determined by the use of multi-channel pipettes.
• PCR-Cooler
Cool pack for 0 °C for the storage of PCR tubes or plates (semi-skirted, unskirted and
skirted) on the lab bench and in an insulated box (IsoSafe).
Further details can be found on our homepage www.eppendorf.com and in the
operating manual for the IsoTherm system.

Time counting mode
The time counting function enables temperature control and/or mixing for a limited period of time.
The temperature will be held constant by the device even after the set time has elapsed.
There are two ways to measure the time of the temperature control processes:
• Time control:
Time counting begins immediately when "Start/Stop" is pressed. The indicator lamp in the
key lights up.
• Temp control:
Time counting only starts when the nominal temperature value has been reached.
During the time in which the device controls the temperature to reach the nominal
temperature, the colon of the time display flashes. This signals that the device is active.
When the nominal temperature has been reached and time counting starts, the indicator
lamp of the "Start/Stop" key lights up.
To terminate the process early, press the "Start/Stop" again.
1. Hold the "Progr." key while switching the device on. Hold the key until the display either
shows time control or temp control.
2. Using the "Time" arrow keys, set time counting.
