I get the following error message from the Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader with SkanIt Software: "Tip priming vessel not inserted"/"Dispenser tip priming was attempted when there were no waste wells inserted into the plate tray." How do I make this go away? Product FAQ

Answer

You are seeing this error because a waste strip was not detected in the plate tray.

The Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader ships with a strip plate. Remove one column of strip wells from the plate and insert into the slot on the left side of the plate tray to prevent the error message from appearing.

For details see Figure 2-15 on page 23 of the Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader technical manual.
