Automated Droplet

Generator Troubleshooting

The Automated Droplet Generator provides onscreen troubleshooting should
an error occur. Guidance will be provided as to how to best resolve the error, or
the instrument will advise that Bio-Rad Technical Support be contacted.

4.1 Restarting a Run after an Error

If the AutoDG

Instrument encounters an obstruction during the run, it will

stop the run and display an error message with the area of the deck that
needs attention.

1. Open the door and remove the obstruction and/or replace the consumable

indicated in the onscreen error message.

2. Close the door and touch OK on the error display.

3. Touch the Configure Sample Plate icon on the home screen; the AutoDG

Instrument remembers the status of all consumables so long as it remains
connected to a power supply.

4. On the screen, select the columns of samples remaining to be processed

and touch OK.

5. Touch the Start Droplet Generation icon to resume the run.
