Troubleshoot calibration failure
Observation
Possible cause
Recommended action
Calibration failed
The plate was improperly
prepared.
Ensure the following:
• The correct plate was used for the
calibration performed.
• The plate was properly thawed.
• The plate was properly centrifuged.
• The plate was properly sealed.
The plate is damaged or
contaminated.
Check for damage, improper plate seal, or
contamination.
Order a replacement plate. Use Smart Help if
the replacement plate fails (see “Request
technical support with Smart Help” on
page 159).
High fluorescence signal in
individual wells
Signals that exceed the limit of
normal fluorescence may
indicate fluorescent
contaminants on the plate or the
sample block.
See “Identify contamination” on page 90.
