sample racks and well plates with such barcodes for rack type

3.4.4 Condensation Drainage
A leak sensor is embedded inside the fraction collector compartment.
The sensor detects liquid accumulated inside the fraction collector
compartment due condensing water when the device is operated in
cooling mode under humid conditions.
If liquid is detected, the drain pump is triggered immediately to transfer
the liquid to the drain port, from which the liquid is guided to the waste
reservoir through the drain system of the Vanquish system. If the liquid
is drained and the sensor gets dry, then the drain pump will resume idle
state. For more details, see
