That's exciting news. Do they have software for the 9000?
I think so. They have a list of 80 some-odd scanners they support.

OK- Wash one strip at a time but not on a reel- and tank, bowl or tray will work. Agitate and rub gently but with sufficient pressure to dislodge embedded particles. Squeegee gently and hang on a line made of cord, strig or light wire. Use a film clip, clamp-like paper clip, clothespins, or paper clips in the sprocket holes to hang the film from the line. Use a clip or clothespin at the bottom of the strip to weigh it down. It should dry curl-free.

When you said your negatives were dirty, we thought they were dirty and tried to advise you accordingly. If I, for one, had known that the actual problem was emulsion deterioration, I would not have advised any kind of cleaner or, in particular, a solution which could soften the emulsion and only cause more damage. I think the best you can do now is let them dry, make the best copies you can, and correct your mistakes in post. Good luck!
