What should I do if the centrifuge is still running even though the time remaining is 0:00 at the final spin of the Ion OneTouch 2?

The "time remaining" is not entirely accurate. The centrifuge may keep rotating for about 15 minutes after the time has become 0:00. If it rotates for more than 15 minutes, please contact Technical Support.

What should I do if an "Over Pressure" error appears after I start an Ion OneTouch 2 run?

The pressure inside the instrument may be above normal. If the Ion OneTouch 2 firmware is older than v540, please update it to the latest version.

What are these black precipitates in the recovery tube and waste of the Ion OneTouch System?

It may be rubber from the packing. The amount varies among instruments and it is not anything to be concerned about, as it will be removed by the Ion OneTouch ES.

How much oil and recovery solution is typically consumed during a normal Ion Torrent Ion OneTouch 2 run and during a cleaning?

In a typical Ion OneTouch 2 run, you should expect ~18 mm drop in the level of oil in the tube (~22 mL consumed), and ~13 mm drop in the recovery solution (~15 mL consumed). During cleaning, you should expect to collect ~10 mL of oil in the 50 mL conical waste collection tube.
