Reported risk: Periodically fail sample processing due to E18-excessive sample volume errors. Root cause has been attributed to no x-axis holding force during the pipettor homing routine which can cause incorrect homing of the pipettor z-axis. Software anomaly which, in rare cases, can impact the tomcat's pipettor arm, causing the sample pipette tip position to offset slightly lower than normal.
