An “ERROR 2” code is displayed directly on the Go Direct Mini GC screen in response to an over-range sensor reading.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, the reason for the high reading is that one of the compounds in the latest injection has not fully cleared, whether the compound was included intentionally or is a contaminant of some sort.\u00a0 To remedy this, let the Mini GC clear out before the next test. Leave the GC powered on and allow the device to run for a while as it pumps air through the system. Then see if it will allow a profile to run. You need not inject a sample to see if it will collect data after the profile page.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Another potential explanation (and a problem that the user cannot fix) is some compound that has irreversibly absorbed into the sensor film.\u00a0 Unfortunately, such a compound may be a contaminant in an otherwise innocuous reagent.\u00a0\u00a0If clearing out the column does not fix the issue, please email chemistry@vernier.com<\/div>\n
