Integra has introduced a disposable reagent reservoir system that combines low-cost, stackable, clear polystyrene reservoirs with clearly marked, graduated and reusable bases.
The reagent reservoir inserts are stackable, making it possible for the reservoirs to be stored in small spaces.
Integra Viaflo reservoirs are designed to be both economically and environmentally friendly through enabling users to reuse the reservoir base, only needing to dispose of the reservoir inserts.
Because the volume graduations are permanently marked on the inside of the base, rather than moulded into the reservoir body, users can accurately gauge the amount of fluid being poured into the reservoir, reducing reagent waste.
The design of the 25ml and 100ml reagent reservoir allows graduations below the surface of the liquid to become invisible, further enhancing the visibility of the selected volume line.
Pour-back spouts moulded into the corners of each reagent reservoir help control liquid flow and enable easy, spill-free return of excess reagent into its original container.
The product base accommodates two reservoirs, one acting as a lid to allow short-term reagent storage while preventing evaporation or contamination from particulates.
EZ Peel paper lids help ensure sterility without the expense or waste of an extra individually bagged reservoir lid.
Potential applications include ELISA assays, cell culture media addition, PCR reagent handling, sequencing reactions, kinetic assays or any protocol requiring temporary sterile fluid storage in a contamination-free container.
