Agilent Seahorse Plate error: “This cell plate is not assigned to this sensor cartridge.  Please replace the cell plate and try again”: Troubleshooting Tips

If the software used with Seahorse analyzers displays an error stating “This cell plate is not assigned to this sensor cartridge.  Please replace the cell plate and try again,” this document can be used to help troubleshoot.

Here is a list of the most common causes for this plate error:

• Cartridge reuse with cell plate with which was not originally paired (not permitted in software)

Try these steps for a possible resolution:

• Verify that (if the cartridge is being reused because assay is being repeated or there was a technical error that requires assay to be restarted) the cell plate in question was previously paired with that particular cartridge.
