FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

<Details>
An excessive current value was detected.

<Typical Causes>
• A short circuit was caused by leaking separation buffer or sample solution on the microchip surface where the sample's salt concentration was outside the specification range.

<Instrument Operations>
Analysis is aborted for the sample being analyzed at the time the error occurred. Subsequent sample analyses proceed, ending with automatic rinsing of the microchips.

<Corrective Measures>
• Check that the salt concentration of the sample is within the specification range.
• After analysis is complete, check the microchip surfaces and chip stage for separation buffer or sample solution.
  If spillage occurred, clean the microchips and chip stage according to the procedure described in "Inspecting and Washing Microchip Reservoirs" and "Chip Stage and Objective Lens".
