Waste Tub
When starting a measurement with the actions ‘injection’ or ‘dispense’, 5 µl of
liquid are dispensed into a container on the plate carrier. This initial dispense step
makes sure that the injection/dispense conditions are equal for each well. This
special dispense step depends on the selected refill mode selected on the
injector or dispense strip.
When using ‘standard’ refill mode, the dispense step is performed after each refill.
When using ‘refill for every injection’ the dispense step is only performed once
when starting the measurement.
The waste tub must therefore be emptied from time to time. The maximum filling
volume is 2 ml. The internal counter checks the dispensed liquid volumes and the
software alert the user when it is time to empty the waste tub.
To empty the waste tub click the ‘Empty Waste Tub’ button and the plate carrier
will move out automatically. Remove the waste tub and empty the contents. After
the waste tub has been emptied place it back on the plate carrier.
