Reason
Beckman Coulter has received and confirmed a report of a fire within the Stainer module of a customer's DxH Slidemaker Stainer. The fire was fully contained within the stainer module. The event was preceded by a significant increase in the frequency of the automatic top-off of the module's methanol bath. Beckman Coulter is initiating this field action to reduce the potential for flammable liquids coming into contact with electrical components in the stainer module possibly causing a fire.
