Hello all,

I'm currently having a problem with a SIL-20AC HT when attempting to draw volumes over 134ul, it stops at 134ul. I've checked the aspiration speed settings in LabSolution and on the AS itself and both check out. Timing the draw, it matches with the time it should be spending aspirating 400ul of sample but only removes 134ul (when weighing the autosampler vial before and after).

Any ideas as to why it would stop at 134ul?

Possibly related: When I was attempted to troubleshoot this by testing the sample loop for leaks, the stainless steel tubing connecting the loop to the needle (~100ul) snapped just above the tubing->sample loop fitting.

Thanks,

-Tom
