If this condition is
detected before the plate
run starts, the plate is not
added to the run queue.

If this condition is
detected after the plate
run starts (for example,
the pre-run check passed
and allowed the plate
run to start, but you
paused the instrument or
added injections and the
consumable will expire
during the run), the
instrument is paused and
all remaining injections are
cancelled.
Replenish the consumables as described in
the following sections.
