What to do if the Promega Laboratory Equipment shows 'door opened'?
If the instrument door was opened during a run or something prevented the instrument door from fully closing as the Multiwell Plate Sample Tray was retracting, restart the run or check the instrument door for any obstructions.
What happens if there is a power failure during a run with Promega Laboratory Equipment?
In the event of a power failure, turn OFF the instrument and the Tablet PC. When power is resumed, turn the instrument and Tablet PC back ON. The results that were generated during the run (before the power failure) will be saved.
Why do the injectors sputter or drip in Promega Laboratory Equipment?
If the injectors sputter or drip because of reagent buildup in injector lines, run the flushing protocol (Section 4.B).
What to do if the injectors are not injecting in Promega Laboratory Equipment?
If the injectors are not injecting because there is no reagent in injector lines, confirm that the inlet tubing is inserted into the bottom of the reagent container. If the injector tubing is clogged and may need to be replaced, reprime the injectors. (Section 4.B).
How to troubleshoot a start problem on Promega Laboratory Equipment?
If you encounter a start problem due to an invalid value, make sure to select at least one well on the plate map. If the problem is protocol validation, ensure the multiwell plate was inserted and is properly seated. If you cannot connect to the instrument, check if the Tablet PC is connected, turned ON, or turn ON the instrument. If the error persists, contact Promega Technical Services.
What to do if the Tablet PC touch screen is not working with Promega Laboratory Equipment?
If the Tablet PC touch screen does not appear to be working: 1. Verify the plug is securely connected to the Tablet PC. 2. Verify that the instrument is plugged into the USB port on the Tablet PC. 3. Restart the Tablet PC, and launch the GloMax[®] Discover software. 4. If the issue is not resolved, contact Promega Technical Services (techserv@promega.com).
What to do if Promega Laboratory Equipment says linear curve fit requires at least two curve points?
If you are attempting to analyze a linear curve or linear standard curve with fewer than two known curve points, specify more standard curve points in the analysis so at least two concentrations are present in the standard curve.
What to do if Promega Laboratory Equipment says dose response curve fit requires at least four curve points?
If you are attempting to analyze a dose response curve with fewer than four concentration points, specify at least four curve points in the analysis with independent concentrations.
What to do if the plate is stuck or jammed in Promega Laboratory Equipment?
To attempt to recover the plate, press Door, press Self Test on the ‘Settings’ screen or press Recovery in the Tools menu (Section 3.G). If the issue is not resolved, contact Promega Technical Services (techserv@promega.com).
