1.6 Waste

a) Washer Waste Bottle
The system has a 1 X 10 L capacity washer waste bottle for holding aspirated wash
contents from the system washer. The waste bottle content weight is monitored by a weigh
cell to measure the quantity of fluid and trigger user alarm / notification / status of waste
bottle contents.
b) Tip Waste
Used sample tips are ejected to a tip waste reservoir, which is capable of holding a
minimum of 1334 sample tips (12 sample tip racks). The number of ejected tips is
recorded in the tip status and the user is notified if it requires emptying. If the user
removes the box, a prompt is provided to confirm that the tip waste reservoir was emptied
and counter reset.
