Agilent Reagent Reservoir 300 ml 96 Pyramid Base Divots Case of 25 Basins

The Agilent 201244-100 Reagent Reservoir is a specialized vessel designed to maximize efficiency and precision in automated liquid handling workflows. With a generous capacity of 300 ml, this reservoir is built to hold significant volumes of reagents, buffers, or samples, minimizing the need for frequent refilling during high-throughput runs. It adheres to the standard ANSI/SLAS footprint, ensuring seamless compatibility with the deck positions of Agilent (formerly BioTek) liquid handlers and other robotic systems.

The defining innovation of this reservoir is its 96-pyramid base geometry. Unlike flat-bottom reservoirs where liquid can pool inaccessibly, the bottom of this vessel features an array of 96 inverted pyramidal "divots." These indentations align perfectly with the tips of a standard 96-channel pipetting head. As the liquid level drops, the fluid is funneled directly into these small pockets, allowing the pipette tips to aspirate nearly every drop. This design significantly reduces dead volume, which is critical when working with expensive or scarce reagents, ensuring that valuable liquids are not wasted at the bottom of the container.

Constructed from polypropylene, the reservoir offers excellent chemical resistance and low binding properties, preventing sample loss due to adsorption. It is chemically robust enough to withstand a wide range of laboratory solvents and is often reusable or autoclavable depending on the specific protocol requirements. This reservoir is an essential tool for labs looking to optimize reagent usage and improve the sustainability of their automated assays.
