3 Remove the disposable waste cap and
attached trap from the container; place the
assembly on the bench label-side up.
4 Empty the bleach-exposed waste.
The waste container can become pressurized when the cytometer is
running. Always disconnect the container from the fluidics cart before you
empty it. Wait at least 30 seconds for pressure to dissipate before you
remove the waste cap or level sensor cap.
Do not wet the cap. If you see liquid inside
the trap, treat it as biohazardous waste.
Remove the drain plug and fully drain the
liquid. Rinse the trap and drain plug with
10% bleach, followed by DI water. Replace
the drain plug.
