INTEGRA Biosciences reagent reservoirs

Reagent reservoirs are used by many laboratories for the temporary storage of reagent during pipetting applications. INTEGRA Biosciences offers a range of multichannel reagent reservoirs that feature re-usable bases. The environmentally friendly design allows users to re-use the sturdy base and only replace the disposable inserts.

INTEGRA reagent reservoirs have been designed to nest inside each other, making it possible to get twice as many reservoirs in half the space of traditional reservoirs. Each reservoir base accommodates two reservoirs, with one acting as a lid to allow short-term benchtop storage of reagent while preventing evaporation or contamination from airborne particulates.

The reagent reservoirs are made of clear polystyrene and fit into a re-usable base with bold, clearly visible graduation markings. The unit is designed to refract light so graduations below fluid become clearly visible, making it easier to identify the exact desired volume line. This design feature is said to lead to better reagent measurements, no over-pouring and less reagent waste.

Moulded into each corner of the reagent reservoir inserts are convenient pour back spouts to control liquid flow. These allow users to quickly and easily return excess fluid to a source container, if their protocol allows.
