This allows the reuse of cuvettes without the risk of contaminating the next sample. The WUD has seven nozzles, each performing a stage of the wash. Each nozzle works on a different cuvette, so the WUD washes seven cuvettes simultaneously (the cuvettes are being washed in different stages at the same time).
