6. Error messages
Running the PDQeX is easy, so it is unlikely that anything serious will go wrong. A
few common mistakes are detected by the machine.
The PDQeX has a sensor at the back
of the collection tube drawer. If the
drawer is not in place or is crooked,
the machine will not run. This
prevents the DNA from being
seriously contaminated.
The block is hot and we don’t want
you to burn your fingers.
Make sure the sliding door is fully
closed before running the PDQeX.
This is not an error but a reminder
that you cannot run the same tubes
twice if you abort a run.
