Reason
It has been determined that the pipettor may fail in very few cases (Less than 1%) to dispense a urine sample due to a sample ''wicking'' where the dispensed sample remains adhered to the side of the pipette tip rather than dropping to the agar surface. In such cases, the first plate may have no sample dispensed and a double volume may be dispensed on the next plate if a multiple plate panel is being used.
