If your automation system includes a trash container or hole, you can use the Waste task () to move a lid or labware to the trash container or hole.

After adding the Waste task at the desired point in the protocol, set the following parameters in the Task Parameters area:

Downstack a reservoir (collection microplate) from a BenchCel stacker and place it on a platepad. Downstack a filter microplate from another BenchCel stacker and place it on top of the collection microplate. The assembly (filter microplate with collection microplate) is centrifuged. Remove the filter microplate from the collection microplate and discard it in the waste bin. Upstack the collection microplate containing the elution for future processing.

Create one process for the collection microplate (Collection Plate) and another process for the filter microplate (Filter Plate). See Example: Dismount a filter microplate from a collection microplate for details about the Mount, Dismount, and Wait For tasks.

In the Filter Plate process, add a Waste task after the Wait For task. The Waste task discards the filter microplate after the Centrifuge task is finished.
