Problem
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Clogged vacuum filter.
If you are using an in-line vacuum
filter, the filter may need to be
replaced.
Waste bottle cover not
properly sealed or fittings
not properly connected.
Firmly seat the waste bottle
stopper. Make sure tubing is
connected properly.
Manifold out of alignment
or not moving freely.
Check for obstructions. If none are
found, contact Bio-Tek TAC.
Microplate not level in
carrier or strips not level
in holder.
Reseat microplate in carrier or strips
in holder.
Make sure the carrier is clean (see
Cleaning the Plate Carrier
System
in
Ch. 4
).
Try a different microplate or strip
holder. If the problem is
unresolved, the carrier may have to
be realigned. Contact Bio-Tek TAC.
Washer program requires
optimization.
To minimize the residuals, program
a second or crosswise aspiration
(see
Define Wash ASPIRATION
Program Options
in
Ch. 3
).
Other options include decreasing the
aspiration rate or adding a delay on
the final aspiration.
Too much
residual
left in
microwells
after
aspiration.
Aspirate tubes are bent.
Contact Bio-Tek TAC.
Note:
Monthly performance of the Evacuation Efficiency test is
recommended to verify that the residual volume per well after
evacuation (aspiration) meets the specified criteria. See
Evacuation
Efficiency Test Procedure
