Reason
Beckman Coulter has identified a rare potential issue with the tip present sensor within the robot of the aliquoter module. There has been one report of a misaligned sensor in an automate system, which resulted in the system processing samples without pipette tips. A small number of samples were subject to cross-contamination and were sent to the error rack prior to analysis. In this particular case, the system gave no external sign of a misaligned tip present sensor.
