VistaLab Reagent Reservoir 25 ml Bulk Case of 100 Reservoirs

VistaLab 25 mL Reagent Reservoirs, High Wettability Polystyrene, Non-Sterile, Bulk (4054-1002) – Case of 100

The VistaLab 25 mL Reagent Reservoirs (4054-1002) are high-performance liquid handling consumables designed to maximize reagent recovery, minimize dead volume, and improve pipetting efficiency in assay preparation and routine laboratory workflows. Manufactured from proprietary, high-wettability laminated polystyrene, these reservoirs feature a specialized surface energy treatment that allows aqueous solutions and reagents to spread evenly across the basin, significantly reducing liquid retention compared to standard untreated plasticware. Designed with an innovative trough-within-a-trough geometry, the basin channels micro-volumes of liquid into a narrow bottom recess, enabling multichannel pipettes to aspirate "every last drop" without air entrapment. Supplied as a bulk case of 100 non-sterile reservoirs (packaged as 10 inner bags of 10 reservoirs), this product line is an economical choice for non-sterile liquid handling applications.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Proprietary Hydrophilic Surface Treatment: High-surface-energy treated polystyrene prevents liquid bead-up, facilitating superior fluid drainage and yielding up to 67% higher reagent recovery than conventional reservoirs.
• Trough-Within-A-Trough Bottom Geometry: Deep narrow bottom channel focuses remaining liquid into a centralized trough, ensuring full tip immersion and minimal dead volume.
• Pour-Off Corner Spouts: Molded spouts at all four corners allow clean, drip-free decanting of unused reagents back into 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 wide, rigid base footprint to prevent accidental tipping or spillages during rapid multichannel pipetting routines.
