Sorry for the confusion - the cassettes lids are not coming off. The lid for
the rack which came with the new processor get off kilter during processing
allowing the cassettes to float up out of the rack.

Good Morning-
We have recently purchased VIP6 processors. Has anyone else experienced a
problem with the lids coming off during pump in and pump out? Causes the
cassettes to float all over and be completely out of order:( We now place an
extra rack or lid on top to weigh down and insure this
Good morning Everyone:

tracking to determine reagent changes? Just curious as to what number of
cassettes are recommended before changes. We're used to changing by number of
runs vs number of cassettes. Thanks in advance!
