Reason

Recapper Caps may fall off of, or be knocked from sample tubes placed in the storage racks of entry/exit modules. The gripper may grab a tube at the wrong height and drop the tube in the Rack Entry/Exit or Rack Exit module. These situations may result in splashing of bio-hazardous fluid. Sample cross-contamination may occur with an uncapped tube in the rack.
