What to do if liquid is spilled during Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment operation?
If liquid is spilled during operation of your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, check the tubings and O-rings, and replace them if needed. Also, consider decreasing the well volume or shake speed.
How to fix Thermo Scientific Wellwash Laboratory Equipment when dispensing volume is too low or residual volume too high?
To address low dispensing volume or high residual volume in your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, use the Maintenance > Clean > Soak wash head function. Clean or replace the tubing, and clean the wash head tips with the declogging tool or replace the wash head. Additionally, define the correct aspirate height.
What to do if priming failed on Thermo Scientific Wellwash?
If priming fails on your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, check the tubings for correct installation and clogs, clean or replace them if necessary. Increase the priming volume, and ensure the corresponding buffer bottle is completely full. If the instrument hasn't been used for a while, use the Maintenance > Service > Boost prime option. Also, move the liquid bottles to the instrument level.
Why is the wrong volume dispensed by my Thermo Scientific Wellwash Laboratory Equipment?
If your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment is dispensing the wrong volume, check that the wash head is properly fitted and calibrate it. Ensure the venting holes in the liquid bottle caps are not covered. Check the step parameter and adjust it if needed. Calibrate the dispensing pump speed and check the ambient temperature.
How to fix Thermo Scientific Wellwash Laboratory Equipment when dispensing volume is too low?
If the dispensing volume is too low in your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, calibrate the wash head and clean the liquid filters in the bottles. If the issue persists, it may indicate component failure, and you should contact authorized technical service.
What to do if tips are dripping on Thermo Scientific Wellwash?
If the tips are dripping on your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, check that the tubes and wash head plugs are properly fitted and that the tubings are intact. You can also apply silicone to the O-ring.
What to do if volume is too low with Thermo Scientific Wellwash?
If the volume is too low with your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, change the wash head and clean or replace the tubing.
What to do if liquid is dispensed onto the plate carrier of Thermo Scientific Wellwash?
If liquid is being dispensed onto the plate carrier of your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, check the layout and place the plate in the correct orientation required by the wash head configuration. Also, check the installed wash head and replace it with the correct one required by the layout and protocol.
What to do if the wrong volume is aspirated by Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment?
If the wrong volume is being aspirated by your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, connect the aspiration tube to the wash head and make sure you do not cover the venting holes in the bottle caps.
What happens if plate is processed incorrectly or reagents are mixed in Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment?
If the plate is processed incorrectly or reagents are mixed in your Thermo Scientific Laboratory Equipment, it may be due to a non-active valve leaking. This indicates component failure, and you should contact authorized technical service.
