Cartridge clamp will not fully close (clip does not engage)
The instrument is not functioning as expected. Run 
has failed and an attempt will be made to recover your 
cartridge clamp engaged, examine the manifold on the 
underside of the lid to ensure it is clear of debris. If any 
debris is found, remove it from the manifold and restart 
the run.
Wet a kimwipe with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and 
clean clamp bed, being careful not to touch or drip on 
the electrode board.

The sample may have shifted during lid opening, or 
releasing the clamp prior to sample recovery. Contact

Reagent is not automatically detected after loading  
into inlet
It may take a moment for the reagent to be detected. 
If after a minute the reagent remains undetected, high 
voltage may not be functioning as expected, potentially 
due to the clamp not being closed in a timely manner. 
Attempt to recover the reagent from the inlet, restart 
the run and ensure that high voltage is functioning (as 
indicated by its status light) and re-load the cartridge.
It may take a moment for the reagent to be detected. 
If after a minute the reagent remains undetected, the 
reagent may be loaded into the wrong inlet. Attempt  
to recover the reagent from the inlet and re-load into 
the correct inlet.
It may take a moment for the reagent to be detected.  
If after a minute the reagent remains undetected, it may 
prior to loading into the cartridge
never be placed on ice.
