XFe status indicator
During an assay, the Status Indicator light on the top of the XFe Analyzer will
change from Blue to Amber if a task requires user interaction or if an error has
occurred, such as:
• To load a Sensor Cartridge or Cell Plate
• To remove a used Sensor Cartridge or Cell Plate
• To accept or cancel an assay if one or more wells did not calibrate properly
after Calibration
• Any errors that can occur during the run, such as barcode read errors for the
Sensor Cartridge, Cell Plate, or a protocol error.
