At a Glance: Quick Troubleshooting Summary
- Instrument: Tecan Freedom EVO 200.
- Symptom: A 96-well plate on the second carrier site disappears from the graphical worktable layout, and the view cannot be manually edited or restored.
- Root Cause: The Y-offset inside the "Edit carrier" settings was accidentally modified, shifting the labware's virtual coordinates entirely outside the viewable worktable grid.
- Solution: Open the carrier configuration menu and change the Y-offset for site #2 back to its original calibrated value.
When running liquid handling protocols, encountering an unexpected software glitch can immediately stall your lab's workflow. On automated instruments like the Tecan Freedom EVO 200, keeping a perfectly mapped digital worktable is essential for precise liquid transfers. A missing plate layout on your screen halts your protocol before the run can even begin.
