5.E Cleaning the Waste Collection Tray

The Waste Collection Tray prevents liquids from splashing or spilling inside the instrument during the Prime and
Flush protocols. The maximum volume capacity of the Waste Collection Tray is approximately 50ml. Use care
when removing the Waste Collection Tray from the Microplate Sample Tray so that no liquid spills inside the
instrument.
After each prime and flush sequence, discard any fluid from the Waste Collection Tray, and rinse it with deionized
water.
5.F. Removing or Replacing Inlet and Outlet Plastic Tubing
Replacement tubing assembly is available. See Section 7.E for ordering information.
1. Disconnect the inlet or outlet tubing from the injector pump by twisting the gray fitting counterclockwise.
2. Discard the used injector tubing assembly.
3. Twist the fitting of the replacement tubing into the correct port of the injector pump.
