Thank you very much for the reply and guidance. We will try this over the weekend and report back.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I’ll keep you posted if we find out anything else.

Please view these 2 images of the failed reactor and let me know if you have any thoughts on what occurred. Liquid appears to have originated from the circled portion and then dripped down to the bottom layer where you can see it on the board in the second picture. If you need additional information let me know. Thank you.

The lab tech reported being burned on the middle exterior of the reactor. She said it overheated while she paused the experiment to make new media- about a 5 minute pause- and was glowing green during this time, but returned to normal operation when the experiment was resumed. A safety officer who came to inspect afterwards said the reactor was getting hot within 20-30 seconds of being plugged in, so the lab tech switched out the reactor with another on-hand and says everything is working normally again. Does this information give you any indication as to what went wrong? Is there anything we should be looking out for? Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I mean the exterior of the reactor and it does seem to be working fine, function-wise. Let me check with the lab tech regarding the LEDs and how long the experiment was running. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for the reply. We did load the latest OS available before starting experiments, but I’ll have to check the version number as I’m unsure. I’ll go ahead and load the latest version available on the Chi.Bio website and see if we still get the errors. I’ll be in touch either way. Thanks again.
