5.4 Replacing Reagents
Always replace reagents as soon as possible after the system alerts you.
There are two methods to replace reagent in bottles:

Remote fill/drain — pump the old reagent out and new reagent back in without removing
the bottle, using commands on the Remote fill/drain screen.

Manually — remove the bottle, drain and refill, then replace on the instrument.
For wax you must drain the chamber using the Remote fill/drain screen, fill the chamber
manually, and then update the software.

5.4.6 Filling and Draining Retorts
5.4.1 Remote Fill/Drain Screen
Use the Remote fill/drain screen (Reagents menu, Remote fill/drain) to drain the wax baths
and to fill and drain reagent bottles without removing them from the instrument. You are able to
fill/drain stations individually or as a group of compatible stations in a single operation. You can also
fill and drain retorts from this screen to enable recovery from partially completed fill/drain
operations.
All users can perform the functions on the Remote fill/drain screen.
