Manufacturer Reason for Recall | When utilizing specific software versions of an LC/MS device, and Batch at a Glance in Compound Table view, a defect occurs when a new sample(s) is inserted. This defect creates a mismatch between the sample name and the column header whereby the sample header will be offset by one sample. The recalling firm requests that you discontinue using this workflow to generate reports because the Quant batch table will not display fully analyzed results or save any changes made. |
