3 Empty the waste tank according to your standard laboratory procedures
for biohazardous waste.
4 Add approximately 1 L of bleach to the waste container (10-L container).
Add a sufficient amount so that 10% of the total waste volume is bleach.
5 Replace the waste trap and attached filter cap. Hand-tighten the trap and
cap until they are fully closed.
6 If one month has passed since you last changed the cap, replace the filter
cap with a new one.
Tip When you replace the cap, write the date on the new cap as a
reminder.
To prevent overpressurization during fluidics startup, do not overtighten
the trap or attached filter cap. Tighten each component only until it is
hand-tight. Do not use sealants such as Teflon® tape or other adhesives.
