Examples of Under-filled Cartridges
These images display under-filled cartridges. In the images on the left,
the sample well is insufficiently filled, and the sample does not reach the
fill mark indicator.
In the images on the right, the sample well is sufficiently filled, but the
sample does not reach the fill mark indicator.
Every effort should be made to fill cartridges properly before inserting
into the handheld device.
Examples of Improperly Closed Cartridges
These images display improperly closed cartridges. Although they were
properly filled, they must be closed sufficiently before they may be
