Instructions-Troubleshooting&search=imprecise

Step-1: Install latest firmware + upgrade clean position List of SW-improvements to former versions
(see step-6) from 2019

 The new firmware has significant

improvements regarding precision, accuracy
Coatron A4 Build-261 (Jul-2020) and optical interferences.
Coatron A6 Build-106 (Jul-2020)  It is more tolerant to poor service like
Coatron A6 Plus Build-53 (Jul-2020) old needle, valve,
 Additionally the consumption of rinse
to reduced significantly.
 The most important point is , that

lifetime of valve is increased from 80.000 to
[Link] 150.000 determinations by changing procedure
of sample washing.
Step-2: The Coatron A6+/5000 is very sensitive if
cuvette is not exactly centered to the LED light
Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST MOTOR and perform beams. In this case especially FIB,DD,AT,FDP
gives very poor precision.

Step-3: The two needles must be mounted at 110mm

height. Fine XYZ adjustment is important to
Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST XYZ and perform ensure correct inside and outside washing of
needle probe

Step-4 : Check for leaky valve or tubing During boot-up the instruments performs a
complete wash cycle. Watch carefully

 The valve or tubing is leaky in case of

airbubbles like on the picture
 Check that syringe-screw is connected
 Check that tube fittings are connected
 Check that needle is washed inside and
outside with rinse solution.

Step-5: Perform FIB QC test  Place on-board FIB, IBS reagent + Normal
control to P01
 Goto meu ANALYSIS/NEW LIST and set
mode=”QC”

Service Plan Page: 4 of 8

  Install paper into printer and start QC test
 C.V. < 7.5% and E > 0.030E  Everything is
fine

QC-Results:

- Failed if C.V. > 7.5%

Higher results indicate false alignment of
cuvette, imprecise volumes (needle,
syringe, pump), carryover (needle, wash
position)

- Failed if Mean of “E” < 0.030E

Results below indicate false alignment of
cuvette or problem with normal control or FIB
reagent
