Aliquot Plates
Reason
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics investigated several "Aliquot Plate Load Failed" complaints. The green lid stock is visible separating form the white base of the aliquot plates causing the plate to not properly load onto the dimension Vista System. If a defective aliquot plate is placed in one of the three bays of the instrument aliquot plate holders for loading, an error "Aliquot Plate Load Failed” is generated. The user needs to physically remove the plate from the aliquot plate holder and take the necessary steps to clear the error. Unaffected aliquot plates load without an error.
