Otherwise the milling jar could be damaged.
WARNING: The instrument must be balanced prior to operation. Do not operate the instrument with
only one milling jar or one well plate adapter installed in a single milling jar holder. Both milling jar
holders must have either a milling jar (filled with equivalent mass) or well plate adapters. If not balanced
damage to the lid is possible.
