Ultrasonic sensor
During the load check, the ultrasonic sensor checks that the buffer bottles in the reagent bottle rack
contain enough buffer for the protocol run.
Note
: The ultrasonic sensor has a black beam collimator. If, for any reason, this beam collimator
falls off or is missing, the instrument will display an error message to inform the user that the beam
collimator is missing and that runs cannot be started. To replace the beam collimator (see image
below), push it manually into its original position. If you are still having difficulties and the error
message remains, contact your local technical service department for further support.

Speakers
The system is equipped with speakers with different audio signals to notify different instrument states
such as:
Run completed
Error
Aborted run
Interior LED
The QIAcube Connect MDx is equipped with an interior LED which illuminates the worktable for
ease of use. The LED can also indicate the instrument status (e.g. error) by blinking.
