Reason

The shield for the single-tube station on the DxH instrument may interfere with sample aspiration in the open vial position. The mechanical interference between the shield and the right (green) position of the single-tube station can cause the tube holder to remain in the down position during aspiration and then spring up, resulting in the dislodging of an open vial. This mechanical interference may result in a biohazardous spill. The left (lavender) position tube holder of the manual station is not impacted by this issue.
