Abstract
A method of washing an array of pipette tips () with residual biological material includes lowering the array of pipette tips () into a wash basin () that includes an array of flush ports (). A vacuum is generated such that the residual biological material in the array of pipette tips () is evacuated through the array of flush ports (). A wash cycle is performed that includes raising the array of pipette tips () from the wash basin (), filling the wash basin () with a primary wash fluid, lowering the array of pipette tips () into the wash basin (), miming a pipette tip cleansing cycle, and generating a vacuum such that the primary wash fluid in the array of pipette tips () and the wash basin () is evacuated through the array of flush ports ().
