5.4.3 Replacing Reagent – Remote Fill and Drain
You can drain and then refill reagent bottles without removing the bottles from the instrument. The
process drains each bottle to a retort then drains the retort to the remote fill/drain line. The reverse
procedure is used for the fill.
If you routinely use remote drain and fill do not forget to check if bottles need cleaning, once a
week.
Before you begin a remote fill or drain ensure there is a retort available:

the retort must not have a protocol loaded or running;

The retort must be clean or empty;

The retort residue (if any) must be compatible with the reagent in the bottle(s).
Follow the instructions below to replace reagent in a bottle.
Drain
1. Connect the remote fill/drain hose and place the end in a suitable container (see 5.4.2 Remote
