VistaLab Reagent Reservoir 50 ml Bulk Case of 100 Reservoirs
VistaLab 50 mL Reagent Reservoirs, High Wettability Polystyrene, Non-Sterile, Bulk (4054-1006) – Case of 100
The VistaLab 50 mL Reagent Reservoirs (4054-1006) are versatile, high-performance liquid handling consumables designed to maximize reagent recovery, minimize dead volume, and streamline multichannel pipetting in high-throughput assay preparations and routine benchtop workflows. Manufactured from high-purity, high-wettability laminated polystyrene, these reservoirs feature a specialized surface energy treatment that allows aqueous solutions and reagents to spread smoothly across the basin, preventing surface bead-up and drastically reducing liquid retention compared to standard untreated plasticware. Designed with an innovative trough-within-a-trough bottom geometry, the basin channels low residual volumes into a narrow bottom recess, enabling multichannel micropipettes to aspirate remaining liquid cleanly without air entrapment. Supplied as a bulk case of 100 non-sterile reservoirs (packaged as 10 inner bags of 10 reservoirs), this product line offers an economical, mid-capacity liquid handling solution for research and analytical laboratories.
Technical Performance & Structural Attributes
- Proprietary Hydrophilic Surface Treatment: High-surface-energy treated polystyrene prevents liquid bead-up, facilitating superior fluid drainage and yielding maximum recovery of valuable reagents.
- Trough-Within-A-Trough Bottom Geometry: Deep narrow bottom channel focuses remaining liquid into a centralized trough, ensuring full tip immersion and minimal reagent dead volume.
- Pour-Off Corner Spouts: Molded spouts at all four corners allow clean, drip-free decanting of unused bulk reagents back into original storage vessels.
- Easy-Separation Stacking Features: External molded rib structures prevent nested reservoirs from sticking together, allowing effortless single-handed removal from bulk stacks.
- Enhanced Benchtop Stability: Engineered with a broad, rigid base footprint to resist accidental tipping or flexing during rapid multichannel pipetting routines.
