Instrumental Problems
Instrumental problems may appear with visible failures in its components or by malfunction errors that are
shown up in the software. As well, instrumental problems may often be inferred from the analysis of observed
chemical problems.
Based on these observations, instrumental problems can be grouped according to the affected module or
component of the instrument. Decide which of the following components is probably affected and run the
associated checks and actions in each case:
-
Connections and supplies
-
Hydraulic system
-
Washer
-
Diluter
-
Sample/Reagent probe
-
Reaction cuvette tray
-
Sample/Reagent tray
-
Software
