    What to do if calibration solution is not correctly prepared in GE AKTAprocess Laboratory Equipment?
    • A
      Amanda MosleySep 23, 2025
      If the calibration solution is not correctly prepared, recalibrate using a new calibration solution.

    What to do if there is a power failure during a run with GE Laboratory Equipment?
    • P
      Penny AlexanderAug 23, 2025
      If there is a power failure during a run, check the circuit breaker, both in the system and for the external supply, as applicable.

    What to do if I see a ghost peak in GE AKTAprocess?
    • J
      Jonathan McguireAug 26, 2025
      A ghost peak usually indicates dirt or residues in the flow path from previous runs. Clean the system to resolve this issue.

    What to do if the alarm 'Valve error' is displayed on GE AKTAprocess?
    • B
      barkertoddAug 27, 2025
      If the 'Valve error' alarm is displayed, perform a valve calibration. If the calibration doesn't restore the valve function, contact your local GE Healthcare representative. Note that if the 'Valve error' alarm is accompanied by 'No air supply to the system', the alarm is caused by a compressed air failure.

    What to do if there is erratic flow, noisy baseline signal, or irregular pressure trace in GE Laboratory Equipment?
    • M
      Mark CastilloAug 27, 2025
      Erratic flow, a noisy baseline signal, or an irregular pressure trace can be caused by gas bubbles passing through or trapped in the pump. Ensure there is a sufficient supply of liquid and check all connections for leaks.

    What to do if there is bad pump or valve action in GE AKTAprocess?
    • V
      Valerie YoungSep 18, 2025
      If there is bad pump or valve action, check the pump and the valves.

    How to resolve a dirty conductivity cell issue in GE Laboratory Equipment?
    • R
      Randall MoralesSep 14, 2025
      To resolve a dirty conductivity cell issue, clean the conductivity cell, refer to Clean the UV and conductivity cell.

    What to do if temperature compensation is not properly set in GE AKTAprocess Laboratory Equipment?
    • I
      iharrisSep 16, 2025
      If the temperature compensation is not properly set, check the temperature compensation settings.

    How to resolve residues in the column from previous runs in GE AKTAprocess Laboratory Equipment?
    • B
      Bryan DrakeSep 6, 2025
      To resolve residues in the column from previous runs, clean the column according to the column instructions.
  • J
    Juan PowellSep 3, 2025
    What to do if the actual flow rate deviates from the displayed flow rate on GE AKTAprocess Laboratory Equipment?
    • C
      Courtney MaysSep 3, 2025
      If the actual flow rate deviates from the displayed flow rate, or a flow rate is displayed when the pumps are off, this can be caused by changes in running conditions. Perform a zero-point adjustment of the flow meter to resolve this.
