Symptom Possible cause Solution

There is a problem internal to the

instrument.

Review the log of calibration reports.

Check for dramatic changes in

temperature, sheath pressure, or voltage. If

any of these are present, contact Technical

Support.

No events are collected during

calibration.

There is a problem with fluid levels. Check the sheath and waste fluid levels.

Verify that tubing for both bottles is tightly

connected to the instrument. Check that

the waste fluid container cap is vented.

The sample probe is clogged. See the section titled "Clogs".

The Cheminert fitting is loose. Tighten the Cheminert fitting.

Verification Problems

TABLE 7.

Verification Problems

Symptom Possible cause Solution

The instrument fails verification. The verification microspheres are not fully

suspended.

Vortex the verification vials to resuspend

the microspheres.

The wrong lot number or target values are

entered in the appropriate page of the

software UI.

Check the lot number and target values to

make sure they are correct.

The instrument verification microspheres

are in the wrong well.

Verify that verification microspheres are in

the correct well.

There are not enough verification

microspheres in the well.

Add at least five drops of verification

microspheres to the well. For accurate

drop volume, hold the vial upside down at

a 90 degree angle to the microtiter plate

while dispensing them.

The verification lot is expired. Use an unexpired bottle of verification

microspheres.

The verification microspheres have been

diluted.

Do not dilute the verification microspheres.

The sample probe height is incorrect. Perform an automatic sample probe height

adjustment.

The sample probe is clogged. See the section titled “Clogs”.

There is air in the instrument. Verify the sample probe height. Use the

software to run a prime command three

times, an alcohol flush command twice,

then a wash command three times with

deionized water.
