Missing vial errors

Error ID: 34305, 34306
•

Error ID: 34305

→

Missing vial

•

Error ID: 34306

→

No wash vial

The gripper failed to detect any vial in the specified position of the vial tray.

Probable cause

Suggested actions

Missing vial

•

Verify the presence of a suitable vial in the
position specified in the method or
sequence.

•

If an injector program or purification method
is used, verify that there is no controversial
information specified there.

•

Rerun the method/sequence and observe if
the problem persists.

Unsuitable vial type

Verify that the vials and caps used by the method
comply with the requirements from Agilent.

Broken gripper

Verify the correct functioning of the gripper by
using the

Gripper Verification

tool. Replace the

gripper if needed.

Misaligned gripper arm

Verify the correct functioning of the gripper arm
by using the

Gripper Verification

and

Injector

Steps

tools. If the gripper arm appears to be out

of alignment, contact Agilent for more informa-
tion.

Potential hardware error

Please contact your Agilent service representa-
tive.
