      If your Covaris Laboratory Equipment isn't powering on, first ensure the line cord is properly connected. If it is, check and replace the fuse S1/S2 in the line entry module. Also, check the Green LED2 on tuning board S220 and Green D1 on the Controller Board.

    Why is my Covaris S Series ineffective and making a loud buzzing noise?
    • J
      Jennifer HardyAug 5, 2025
      Ineffective treatment and buzzing from your Covaris Laboratory Equipment can occur if the bath temperature is too high, the bath is contaminated, not sufficiently degassed, or there is insufficient acoustic power. Verify chiller operation. Clean the bath, change the water, and degas it, checking the oxygen level with a DO meter. Run an acoustic power test.

      A water level error on your Covaris Laboratory Equipment may be due to insufficient bath water, a contaminated level sensor, ambient light hitting the sensor, or a faulty sensor. Fill the bath to the indicator line, clean the bath and level sensor, shield the sensor from stray light, and if necessary, replace the sensor.

      Gregory HardyAug 14, 2025
      A communication error with your Covaris Laboratory Equipment can stem from corrupted USB drivers, incorrect tuning board switch settings, a defective USB cable, or using a USB cable that is too long. Reload the drivers, verify the correct switch settings, replace the USB cable, and ensure it does not exceed 2 meters in length.

    Why are there excessive degassing bubbles in my Covaris S Series?
    • A
      ashley13Aug 23, 2025
      Excessive degassing bubbles in your Covaris Laboratory Equipment may be caused by the inlet tube not being properly seated or a leak in the degas pump tubing or fitting. Make sure the inlet tube is inserted past the O-ring and check the integrity of the tubing and connections.

    What to do if my Covaris Laboratory Equipment has no degassing bubbles?
    • J
      joseph49Aug 27, 2025
      If your Covaris Laboratory Equipment is producing no degassing bubbles, the degas inlet nozzle might be clogged, the degas pump may not be running, or the motor could be decoupled from the pump. Try cleaning the bath and degas pickup tube. Verify the water level and pump operation. Stop and restart the degassing pump.
