VistaLab Reagent Reservoir 100 ml Bulk Case of 100 Reservoirs

VistaLab 100 mL Reagent Reservoirs, High Wettability Polystyrene, Non-Sterile, Bulk (4054-1000) – Case of 100

The VistaLab 100 mL Reagent Reservoirs (4054-1000) are high-capacity, high-performance liquid handling consumables designed for efficient reagent distribution, minimal dead volume, and maximal liquid recovery in high-throughput assay preparations and routine laboratory workflows. Precision-molded from high-purity, 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 and surface bead-up 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 pipettes to aspirate remaining liquid without air entrapment. Supplied as a bulk case of 100 non-sterile reservoirs (packaged as 10 inner bags of 10 reservoirs), this product line provides an economical, high-capacity liquid handling solution for analytical and screening laboratories.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Proprietary Hydrophilic Surface Treatment: High-surface-energy treated polystyrene prevents liquid bead-up, facilitating superior fluid drainage and dramatically increasing reagent recovery compared to conventional reservoirs.
• Trough-Within-A-Trough Bottom Geometry: Deep narrow bottom channel focuses remaining liquid into a central trough, ensuring full tip immersion and minimizing costly reagent dead volume.
• Pour-Off Corner Spouts: Molded corner spouts at all four corners allow clean, drip-free decanting of unused bulk reagents back into original storage bottles.
• Easy-Separation Stacking Features: External molded rib structures prevent nested reservoirs from vacuum-sticking together, enabling effortless single-handed removal from bulk stacks.
• Enhanced Benchtop Stability: Engineered with an extended, rigid base footprint to resist accidental tipping or flex during rapid multichannel pipetting routines.
