3.2.10 Coupling fluid bottle
The Echo system comes with a 1000 mL coupling fluid bottle.
See Figure 3.17.
Figure 3.17 Coupling fluid bottle.
Note: Older Echo systems are also equipped with a 500 mL waste
bottle.
Next to the coupling fluid bottle is a sensor that is connected by cable to
the Echo liquid handler. The sensor monitors fluid level. When the fluid falls
below a specific level, the sensor sends a low fluid volume alert to the
status panel. See Figure 3.18.
