Reason
Manufacturer has confirmed intermittent Aliquot plate barcode failure to read errors causing the plate to be discarded. The error is generated when the Aliquot plate is being loaded onboard the instrument or recalled from the Aliquot elevator for an add-on test. If the Aliquot plate cannot be read, it is discarded into the waste. Not all plates within a lot exhibit the failure. Not all instruments experience failures with the same lot of Aliquot plates.
