Triplus 300 Headspace Vial Leak Check Failed Error
Issue
The Triplus 300 Headspace (HS) keeps having "Vial Leak Check Failed" warnings in Chromeleon during the vial pressurization phrase.
Environment
- Triplus 300
- Chromeleon
Resolution
- Check over type of HS Caps/Vial Septa. Do not reuse/reinject into vial septa or use screw cap HS vials that can cause leaks. Screw cap HS vial caps tend to leak and aren't recommended for use.
- Run a System Leak Check to see if failed or not. Please see the attached TriPlus 300 HS_ how to perform the leak check Procedure.
- If the System Leak Check fails, please see the Pressurization Phase below and check for leaks in the blue gas path with a Digital Helium Gas Leak Detector to try to track down the gas leak.
Cause
Usually failing a Vial Leak Check Test during the Pressurization Phase is caused from badly crimped vials, leaky screw cap HS vials, or a leak present in the system.
