CAUTION—Positioning of Sample Racks or Well Plates without Barcode
Sample racks and well plates without a special Vanquish barcode may
easily be placed the wrong way around, but Chromeleon cannot detect
the incorrect orientation. This may result in a safety hazard.
•
Preferably, use Vanquish sample racks and well plates with a
barcode for rack type identification, as this allows the software to
check the correct orientation. Refer to the current list of sample
racks and well plates approved by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
• When you place sample racks and well plates without such barcodes,
double-check the correct positioning as described in this section.
