Troubleshooting 

 

This chapter describes general instrument troubleshooting and diagnostic 
guidelines. 

 

NOTE 

For technical support, please refer to 

Technical Support

 in this guide. 

 

Table 11 provides guidance on troubleshooting NovoCyte Quanteon instrument 
and associated accessories.  

For complete list of NovoExpress software prompted error or warning messages 
when operating Agilent flow cytometer and associated accessories, please refer to 

NovoExpress Software Guide

.   

 

NOTE 

Please contact Agilent Technical Support if issues are not resolved after performing 
the recommended solutions or if there are any issues which are not listed in these 
two tables. 

 

NOTE 

Investigate possible causes and perform the recommended solutions in the given 
order. 

Table 11  Instrument Troubleshooting Guide 

Observation 

Possible Causes  

Recommended Solutions  

Instrument QC test 
fails 

QC particles are expired or not 
stored properly 

Prepare a new tube of QC particles and mix 
them well to run the QC test again.   

Flow cell is clogged 

Execute 

Unclog

 function from the NovoExpress 

software. 

Flow cell is dirty 

Execute 

Cleaning

 function from the 

NovoExpress software. 

Air bubbles exist in the flow 
cell 

Execute 

Debubble

 function from the 

NovoExpress Software. 

Zero or low number 
of events detected 

Threshold is set too high 

Lower the threshold setting and re-collect the 
sample. 

Sample concentration is too 
low  

Redo sample preparation using an appropriate 
method to concentrate the sample. 

Sample did not mix well  

Mix the sample well to suspend the cells.
