Microplate washer has bubbles in the wash head. Anyone know a simple way to remove the bubbles from it?

22 January 2018 1 7K Report

I rinsed and primed so many times. It still has bubbles inside and randomly clotted. Does anyone know the simple way to get rid of these little bubbles?

Hi Jen-Kuan Chang,

To get rid of this problem you need to verify that there are no bubbles in your washing solution then check the validity of your needles it mandatory to do the needles maintenance every week if there is no problem with them go to the settings and change the soaking time (make it longer), and finally change the max volume of your wells and make sure to decrease it.

Good luck.
