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.
