An issue with the power branching printed circuit board (PCB) on the instrument that has the potential to trigger a heater malfunction was discovered. If this failure were to occur, nucleic acid extractions could be compromised and extractions need to be repeated. This could cause a delay in obtaining results from downstream applications.
