What is the white residue around the Applied Biosystems 3500/3500xL Genetic Analyzer array knob?

When placing the array on the instrument, the last step in the process is to loosen the array knob and the instrument forces any air bubbles around the array tip through the threading and the middle of the array knob. Some polymer gets pushed through as well and when it dries up, it appears as a white, flaky residue. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to remove it.

I seem to be getting bubbles from the polymer pouch on my Applied Biosystems 3500/3500xL Genetic Analyzer but the polymer level is normal. What is causing it?

On the Applied Biosystems 3500 Series Genetic Analyzer, the polymer pouch may not be sitting properly or the check valve may be stuck in the open position. Carefully detach the polymer pouch by pulling down the handle next to it, and then pull the handle up while guiding the pouch into place and secure it by pushing up on the plastic head of the pouch. If this fails, perform a wash on the system using the conditioning pouch. If reseating the tube/pouch and cleanup do not fix the problem, a service call may be required.
