Integra Biosciences Reservoir 300 ml Polystyrene 100 Basins

Integra Biosciences 6328 Clear Advantage Automation Reservoir – 300 mL, Polystyrene, Sterile

The Integra 6328 is an advanced 300 mL reagent reservoir insert designed to maximize automated 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 automation base. This configuration completely eliminates the need for bulky, single-use reservoir blocks while maintaining a rigid, standard SBS footprint that interfaces perfectly with robotic pipetting platforms. Unlike opaque blocks, the crystal-clear polystyrene acts as a window, allowing researchers to easily monitor fluid levels. To protect highly valuable assay reagents, the flat bottom of the reservoir utilizes the proprietary SureFlo anti-sealing array alongside a specialized surface treatment. This micro-pattern prevents liquid from pooling and stops multichannel pipette tips from vacuum-sealing against the plastic, ensuring smooth aspiration and an incredibly low dead volume.

Technical Performance and Design

• SureFlo Anti-Sealing Array: The textured bottom prevents automated pipette tips from creating a vacuum seal against the plastic, ensuring smooth fluid uptake without sudden aeration or liquid "popping" up into the pipette filters.

• Ultra-Low Dead Volume: The combination of the anti-sealing array and the flat-bottom geometry allows researchers to safely program their pipettes to rest directly on the bottom, achieving an incredibly low dead volume of less than 3 mL across the entire 300 mL basin.

• Dual Viewing Windows: When seated in the reusable base, integrated viewing windows allow operators to visually verify that tips are positioned safely at the absolute bottom of the reservoir without crashing.

• Reusable Base System: The thin polystyrene inserts nest tightly together, taking up a fraction of the storage space of thick-walled blocks. By discarding only the insert, laboratories can drastically reduce their overall biohazardous plastic footprint.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Automated Liquid Handling: The assembled SBS footprint is the industry standard for bulk reagent dispensing using Integra's VIAFLO 96/384, ASSIST PLUS, or any standard robotic platform (e.g., Hamilton, Tecan, Beckman Coulter).

• Broad Aqueous Compatibility: The high-purity polystyrene is perfectly suited for general biological workflows, sterile tissue culture media, and standard PCR buffers.

• Cost Efficiency: By minimizing dead volume, laboratories save substantial amounts of money over time when working with expensive master mixes, enzymes, and specialized antibodies.

• Space Saving: The ultra-thin inserts neatly nest within one another, freeing up valuable shelf space in crowded tissue culture suites and cold rooms.
