Symptom
Quanti-Tray and rubber insert are stuck
inside the sealer and are not accessible
from the input slot.
Sealer makes a loud hissing noise when
sealing, or liquid drips from the bottom
of the sealer. Green status light may go
out after trays are filled.
Cause and/or Recommended Action
Pull the rubber insert out of the exit slot.
The tray was overfilled. The sealer automatically removes excess sample from the tray and
discards it into the internal drip tray.
To prevent the problem:
• Do not fill trays with more than 100 mL of sample.
• Avoid excessive water on the surface of the trays.
To clean the sealer:
Refer to the "Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance" section of this manual, for instructions on
cleaning the inside of the sealer.
Important: Do not remove the outer shell of the sealer or tilt the sealer if sample is dripping
from the unit. Wait until dripping stops and the sealer is cool. Only trained personnel should
clean the sealer.
