Integra Biosciences Reagent Reservoir 25 ml Polypropylene 200 Basins

Integra Biosciences Reagent Reservoir – 25 mL, Polypropylene

The Integra Biosciences 4317 25 mL Polypropylene Reagent Reservoir is an advanced liquid handling consumable engineered to maximize efficiency and precision in demanding analytical workflows. Crafted from robust polypropylene, this reservoir safely contains complex organic solvents and harsh chemical buffers without warping or leaching contaminants. It is specifically optimized to interface with 8-, 12-, and 16-channel pipettes. At the core of its design is a specialized anti-sealing array combined with a deep V-shaped trough, a geometry that prevents pipette tips from sealing flush against the plastic. This allows for smooth, uninterrupted aspiration and guarantees an incredibly low dead volume. Designed to be used as disposable inserts that lock into a heavy-duty reusable base, these reservoirs significantly reduce laboratory plastic waste and storage requirements while maximizing the recovery of highly valuable reagents.

Technical Performance and Design

• Anti-Sealing Array: The bottom surface is textured with a specialized micro-pattern that actively prevents multichannel pipette tips from creating a vacuum seal against the plastic, ensuring smooth fluid uptake without splashing or sudden aeration.

• Ultra-Low Dead Volume: The combination of the anti-sealing array and a deep, V-shaped central trough allows researchers to extract nearly every drop of liquid, achieving an exceptionally low dead volume to prevent the loss of high-value assay reagents.

• Reusable Base System: Instead of discarding an entire thick-walled basin, the thin polypropylene inserts are designed to seat securely into a heavy-duty reusable base block, vastly reducing both storage footprint and environmental plastic waste.

• Molded Pour-Back Spouts: Each corner of the reservoir insert features an integrated pour spout, allowing operators to easily and cleanly return excess, unused reagent back into its original source container without dripping down the sides.
