    What to do if pressure alarm issued on cytiva AKTA go?
    • M
      Marcia MurrayAug 5, 2025
      If you're getting pressure alarms with your Cytiva Industrial Equipment, it might be because the flow rate is too high for the column you're using; try lowering it. Alternatively, check for kinks in the tubing, overtightened connections, or precipitation in the flow path. If you find any of these issues, replace the tubing.

    Why is there a spike in the UV signal in Cytiva Industrial Equipment?
    • M
      Mr. James MontgomeryAug 15, 2025
      A spike in the UV signal in Cytiva Industrial Equipment can occur if the flow restrictor has been removed after the UV cell. Replace the flow restrictor back in the flow path after the conductivity monitor. Another cause could be air in the system. In that case, prime the inlets and purge the pump.
