async FluidXIntelliXcap96.waste(timeout: float = 60.0) → None

Release the currently held caps into a separately positioned cap carrier.

This is irreversible. Before calling, remove the sample-tube rack and position the correct cap carrier/collection vessel as specified in the Azenta IntelliXcap user manual. The instrument does not detect or verify the carrier. If the tube rack remains beneath the head, released caps can fall back onto the tube openings and look recapped even though they may not be threaded or torqued.

The instrument picks the store sequence from the height of the cap carrier and otherwise performs a recap. Firmware V44 does not implement this command – the command list does not say which of the three firmwares it means – so on that version load a store rack and use decap() and recap(), which select the store sequence themselves. A store that times out presents the tray, answering LoadOK alongside the StoreERROR.
