5 Waste Tank
The instrument contains an integral waste tank, where liquid waste accumulates during
each purification run. It can hold all the liquid waste from one purification run.
Note: To avoid contamination, always remember to empty the waste tank after every
purification run. The tank is located beneath the tube racks, which must be removed
before you can reach the tank. The waste tank sensor will determine whether the tank is
inserted correctly or not. See chapter C for details on emptying the liquid waste tank.
6 Drop catcher
The drop catcher is carried by the upper side of the magnet unit and is placed directly
below the nozzle head each time it moves anywhere except from one well to the next. If a
drop should leave the pipet, it is caught by the drop catcher.
The drop catcher can be removed from its place for cleaning purposes. See chapter C for
details on possible causes and how to avoid.
7 Barcode Scanner
The barcode scanner is intended for protocol selection (automatically when the kit car-
tridge is scanned) and positive sample tracking.
