Biacore™ T100 Troubleshooting Tips:
Always use fresh buffer and distilled water. If you prepare your own buffers, filter buffer and water through a 0.22 µm filter to remove particles.
If the system is used with particularly “sticky” molecules or complex mixtures such as serum, clean the flow system thoroughly after each run.
Do not take the sensor chip out of its protective cassette. Dust or other particles on the sensor chip surface can seriously interfere with detection.
If the PC does not seem to communicate with the instrument, check that the communication cable is properly connected.
Check the accessible tube fittings on the pumps, buffer selector valve and degasser regularly for leaks.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation around at the instrument site.
Check that there is sufficient buffer in the buffer bottle(s) and water in the water bottle at the start of a run.
Use only recommended vials and microplates (Appendix D). Always cap vials and cover microplates with foil, using the products supplied for this purpose by GE Healthcare.
If any errors cannot be resolved, your instrument likely requires service. We can help in a hurry! Contact ATG.
