Reagent reservoirs are essential consumables for efficient pipetting and liquid handling in modern laboratories. Used across cell culture, PCR, and automation workflows, reagent reservoirs support accurate dispensing, reduce dead volume, and improve consistency when working with pipette tips, multichannel pipettes, and liquid handling systems.
Types of Reagent Reservoirs
Disposable Reagent Reservoirs
Disposable reagent reservoirs are commonly made from polystyrene or polypropylene and are designed for single-use applications. These non-sterile options are ideal for routine pipetting, calibration tasks, and reagent transfer to well plates and microplate formats where fast turnaround and contamination control are priorities.
Reusable Reagent Reservoirs
Reusable reagent reservoirs offer durability and long-term value for laboratories with repeat workflows. Many are autoclavable, designed for high chemical resistance to acids, bases, and alcohols, and are compatible with multi-channel pipettors, pipet aids, and centrifuge tubes, making them suitable for ongoing liquid handling and automation applications.
Sterile Reservoirs
Sterile reservoirs are manufactured under ISO-controlled conditions and are non-pyrogenic, DNase free, and RNase free. These sterile reservoirs are well-suited for sensitive applications such as cell culture and PCR, where sample integrity is critical.
Multi-Well Reservoirs
Multi-well reservoirs and V-bottom designs are optimized for multichannel pipettes and multi-channel dispensing. These formats help minimize dead volume, improve reagent recovery, and support consistent results in high-throughput and automation workflows.
