Possible Causes: If liquid has been manually poured into the vessel before the computer communicates with the appropriate valve to fill the vessel, this fault screen will appear. Open the vessel, if the vessel is full press "Y<ENTER>" to continue the...
The TDF instrument produces about 475 ml per assay of filtrate waste consisting of about 75% ethanol-based solution, about 2,850 ml per run (6 stations). There is also water, buffer solution, and ethanol pumped through the system to flush lines and...
Over a period of years, the buffer valve, and possibly others, may begin to corrode the brass valve body. As of November 2022, the buffer valve in new instruments comes with a PEEK chemical-resistant valve body. However, older instruments may show...
1. Verify that you have a Gen2 Coordinator: A Gen2 Coordinator will have a number that is less than 1,000. If you have connectivity issues and your coordinator number is greater than 1,000 you have a Gen3 system. In that case, contact ANKOM using the...
