1 Disconnect the waste container’s sensor and fluid line connectors from their
respective ports on the fluidics cart.
2 Remove the disposable waste cap (large-sized cap) and attached trap from
the container. Place the assembly on the bench label-side up.
The waste tank can become pressurized when the cytometer is running.
Always disconnect the tank from the wet cart before you empty it. Wait at
least 1 minute for pressure to dissipate before you open the container.
Do not wet the cap on top of the trap. If you see liquid inside the trap,
remove the drain plug and fully drain the liquid before you replace the plug
(Figure 4-3 on page 116).
