1.4.6 Wash Buffer Containers
Up to four different washing and/or dispensing reagents are contained on the system in Wash
Buffer Containers that are located at the front of the instrument (Figure 1-9).
Each container contains up to two liters of wash buffer. Dispensing of wash buffer from a
container is controlled by a submersible pump in the wash container, a dispense valve above
the wash bottle, and a dispense valve located near the wash head. The specified wash buffer is
dispensed into wells whenever a Dispense or Fill operation is specified in the wash protocol.
A quick connect fitting and a level sensor/pump connector allow easy removal of a wash
buffer container from the system.
