Reagent Reservoirs

Reagent Reservoirs

Reagent reservoirs are essential laboratory tools used for holding and dispensing liquids during pipetting workflows. Commonly used in ELISA assays, cell culture, and high-throughput screening, these reservoirs help streamline liquid handling while minimizing waste and contamination. Designed for compatibility with single and multi-channel pipettes, they improve efficiency and accuracy in modern laboratory environments. Also referred to as troughs or solution basins, reagent reservoirs are widely used in laboratory liquid handling workflows.

Why Choose Our Reagent Reservoirs?

Optimized for Multi-Channel Pipetting

Reagent reservoirs are designed to work seamlessly with multi-channel pipettes, enabling efficient transfer of liquids across multiple samples. This makes them ideal for high-throughput workflows and repetitive pipetting tasks.

Efficient Liquid Recovery & Reduced Waste

Many reservoirs feature V-shaped or pyramid bottoms that direct liquids toward the center, allowing maximum reagent recovery. This design helps reduce waste and lowers overall reagent costs.

Material-Specific Chemical Resistance

Most reagent reservoirs are made from polystyrene, which is suitable for general applications but may have limited resistance to harsh chemicals such as chloroform. For more demanding applications, polypropylene reservoirs provide enhanced chemical resistance and durability.

Sterile & Non-Sterile Options Available

Reagent reservoirs are available in both sterile and non-sterile formats, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate option based on their application and contamination control needs.

Bulk-packed reservoirs are commonly used in ELISA and high-throughput labs where sterility is less critical, offering a cost-effective solution.

Designed for Maximum Reagent Recovery & Ease of Use

Our reagent reservoirs incorporate several practical design features, including:

  • Corner “bump-outs” for easy separation of stacked reservoirs

  • Sharp V-shaped bottoms for efficient reagent collection

  • Pour-off spouts for returning excess reagents and reducing waste

  • Clear graduation lines for accurate volume visualization
