The MW9600-WSTB is the waste bottle assembly for the Accuris MW9600 SmartWasher 96 Microplate Washer, a complete bottle assembly with integrated capacity sensor that alerts the operator when the waste reservoir is approaching full and needs to be emptied. The MW9600 chassis ships with 1 waste bottle as standard equipment per the brochure; the MW9600-WSTB is the replacement / spare SKU for facilities adding capacity, replacing damaged bottles, or maintaining spare-inventory for high-throughput operations where waste bottle rotation supports continuous walk-away operation.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Bottle pairing: MW9600 chassis only. Order this SKU when:
- Spare-rotation for walk-away operation. High-throughput facilities running multi-protocol wash batches benefit from a swap-in spare waste bottle, allowing immediate continuation while the primary bottle is emptied and rinsed offline.
- Spare-inventory for multi-chassis MW9600 fleets. A damaged waste bottle can be replaced without taking the chassis offline.
- Replacement. If the existing waste bottle is damaged, the integrated sensor has reached service life, or the bottle has accumulated effluent residue that resists routine cleaning.
- Hazardous waste workflow. Facilities running ELISA workflows with TMB-quenched waste, or other regulated wash effluent, may want a dedicated waste bottle per protocol to keep waste streams segregated for proper disposal.
MW9600 Waste Bottle Workflow
The MW9600's waste bottle handles all aspirated wash effluent from the wash carriage, buffer, rinse, and any sample / reagent residue aspirated from wells during the wash cycle. The integrated capacity sensor alerts the operator before the bottle overfills, preventing chassis damage from waste backflow into the aspirate-line.
Waste handling considerations:
- Pre-empty rinse. Rinsing the waste bottle with DI water between protocols prevents buffer residue from drying and forming hard-to-clean deposits
- Hazardous waste protocols. If the wash workflow generates regulated waste (e.g., chromogen-quenched ELISA effluent, fixed-cell wash effluent containing fixative residue), dispose per institutional waste protocols
- Multi-day workflows. For workflows running overnight, ensure the waste bottle has capacity for the full unattended run; consider a spare bottle on standby
Ordering & Configuration
Waste bottle replacement is operator-managed. The bottle is the physical reservoir with sensor connections to the chassis; waste collection volume is workflow-dependent.
