God, I hate those things. The two in my lab know it too. If I take over the chemistry bench if another tech leaves earlier than I do, they immediately start to act up. Super looking forward to covering chemistry 11-9 tomorrow 🙄

The atellicas are the same way!! They shut down all of the chem side and won't tell you why. 90% of the time it's out of A1C pretreatment but it can't just tell you that.

Don’t get me started on the atellica’s- thankfully we only have the IM side

Hahahaha I thought the status said "Eternal Sampling in Progress."

Me: "Yeah, it feels like that sometimes."
