Waste Fluid Container

The waste fluid container receives waste from the system. To maintain a stable flow rate, do
not move the waste line or container during system operation and make certain the waste
fluid container is properly vented. Place the container at least three feet below the surface on
which the instrument rests. You can place it as far away from the instrument as the tubing
allows. Never place it on top of the instrument. Refer to safety instructions for the waste fluid
container within the

Fluidics

section of the manual.

WARNING:

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling
parts that come into contact with potentially biohazardous
samples.
