EMPTY THE WASTE BOTTLE
Waste resulting from sample processing is routed to and stored in the waste bottle.
The instrument senses when the waste bottle is full and displays a message to empty the waste
(see Figure 8-10). Or the waste may be emptied during routine maintenance of the instrument.
The waste bottle is located inside the waste cabinet - the door on the right of the AutoLoader cart.
