Confirm the Level of the Waste Bottle
If the Waste Warning option is enabled in the Setup menu, then the software displays a
prompt to make sure that the waste bottle has sufficient room for aspirated liquid during the
prime or rinse process.
CAUTION! Running a prime or rinse process without sufficient room in the waste
bottle can damage the instrument. The minimum volume required for a Prime/Rinse
function is 7.5mL+1.5mL (total of 9mL), where 7.5mL is the volume of liquid in the tube
(from Rinse bottle to Dispense head of manifold) and 1.5mL is the volume dispensed
during the Prime/Rinse cycle. We suggest using a little more than 7.5mL + 1.5mL to
have enough backup pressure to push liquid through the tube and dispense the
required volume (1.5mL).
