Agilent Reagent Reservoir 12 Column Deep Well 50 Basins

Agilent 201256-100 12-Column Reagent Reservoir (Polypropylene, 252 ml)

The Agilent 201256-100 is a specialized 12-column reagent reservoir designed for high-efficiency liquid handling in automated and manual laboratory workflows. Constructed from chemical-resistant, medical-grade polypropylene, this reservoir features 12 individual longitudinal channels (columns), each with a 21 ml capacity. The deep-well design is optimized for use with 8-channel or 12-channel pipettes, while the pyramid-bottom geometry ensures maximum liquid recovery and minimal dead volume. Adhering to standard ANSI/SLAS footprints, it is fully compatible with most robotic liquid handling platforms, including Agilent’s Bravo and NGS workstations.

Technical Performance and Design

• 12-Column Deep Well Format: Features 12 distinct basins aligned in a column format, allowing for the simultaneous use of up to 12 different reagents or the bulk distribution of a single master mix across a 96-well plate.

• Pyramid Bottom Geometry: Each column is engineered with a V-shaped or pyramid-style base to funnel liquid to a central point, significantly reducing waste and ensuring reliable aspiration even at low volumes.

• High Chemical Compatibility: Manufactured from virgin polypropylene, which provides excellent resistance to common laboratory solvents, alcohols, and acids, while ensuring low binding of DNA and proteins.

• ANSI/SLAS Standard Footprint: The standardized base design allows for seamless integration into automated plate nests, carousels, and stackers without the need for specialized adapters.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Automated NGS Library Prep: Ideal for holding wash buffers, ethanol, or master mixes during automated Next-Generation Sequencing workflows on platforms like the Agilent Bravo.

• High-Throughput Screening: Facilitates the rapid transfer of reagents to 96-well microplates using multi-channel manual pipettes or automated 96-head dispensers.

• Reduced Dead Volume: The precision-molded pyramid base is essential when working with expensive enzymes or limited-quantity reagents, ensuring nearly every microliter is accessible.

• Stable Labware Design: The rigid 44 mm sidewalls provide structural integrity, preventing bowing or deformation during high-speed centrifugation or robotic plate transport.
