Integra Biosciences Reagent Reservoir 100 ml Clear Polystyrene 200 Basins
Integra Biosciences 4322 Clear Advantage Reagent Reservoir – 100 mL, Polystyrene, Sterile
The Integra 4322 is a highly innovative 100 mL reagent reservoir insert designed to maximize liquid handling efficiency while significantly reducing laboratory plastic waste. As part of the Clear Advantage system, these thin-walled, disposable polystyrene inserts nest seamlessly into a sturdy, reusable base block. Unlike standard reservoirs with difficult-to-read molded markings, the reusable base features bold, crisp printed volume graduations. The crystal-clear polystyrene insert acts as a window, uniquely refracting light so that graduations below the fluid surface become invisible, allowing researchers to rapidly and precisely fill the reservoir without over-pouring. To further protect valuable assay reagents, the bottom of the reservoir utilizes the proprietary SureFlo anti-sealing array and a specialized hydrophilic surface treatment, preventing liquid from pooling and ensuring an incredibly low dead volume.
Technical Performance and Design
-
SureFlo Anti-Sealing Array: The bottom surface features a specialized micro-pattern that prevents multichannel pipette tips from creating a vacuum seal against the plastic, ensuring smooth aspiration and preventing liquid from "popping" up into the pipette filters.
-
Ultra-Low Dead Volume: The combination of the anti-sealing array, hydrophilic surface treatment, and a deep V-shaped trough allows researchers to extract nearly every drop of liquid, drastically minimizing the waste of expensive enzymes and PCR master mixes.
-
Reusable Base System: The thin polystyrene inserts nest tightly together, taking up half the storage space of traditional reservoirs. By only discarding the insert, laboratories can drastically reduce their overall plastic footprint.
-
Integrated Pour-Back Spouts: Each corner is molded with a precision pour spout, allowing operators to easily and cleanly return excess, unused reagent back to the source container without dripping down the sides of the reservoir.
