and Coalescing Bottle prevent the aspiration of liquid into the vacuum.
Solid Waste Container
The Solid Waste Container, located behind the Liquid Waste Container in the waste
drawer, captures used MTUs, mag wash tiplets, and pipettor tips.

system (RFID) that reads the lot and expiration information for each bottle. A Bottle Status
Panel monitors the presence of each bottle through corresponding LEDs that are
connected to the RFID antennae inside the drawer lining. Sensors located behind the
lining also monitor the presence of fluid in each of the fluid lines.
NaOCl Bottle
The NaOCl Bottle, located in the Universal Fluid Drawer, holds the 5.0%–7.0% sodium
hypochlorite solution that is used for deactivation.
Vacuum Pump
The Vacuum System consists of the pump, filter, Coalescing Bottle, Liquid Waste Bottle,
Manifold, Digital Pressure Sensor, and associated tubing. The Vacuum System draws the
liquid waste from the Magnetic Wash Stations and Output Queue into the Liquid Waste
