FAQs

When should I choose a 5 mL reagent reservoir instead of a larger capacity option?

A 5 mL reservoir is ideal for workflows involving small reagent volumes, precious samples, or limited-scale assays where minimizing waste is important. It is particularly useful in protocols requiring frequent reagent changes or precise aliquoting. Larger reservoirs are better suited for high-throughput or bulk liquid handling applications.

How does this reservoir support contamination-sensitive applications?

This reservoir is suitable for sensitive molecular biology and cell-based workflows where contamination can compromise results. Its DNase-, RNase-, and pyrogen-free certification helps reduce the risk of nucleic acid or endotoxin interference. This makes it a reliable option for PCR setup, enzyme reactions, and other precision-dependent procedures.

Is this product compatible with all types of pipettes?

The reservoir works with standard single-channel and multichannel pipettes commonly used in laboratory settings. Its structured design allows consistent liquid access across channels, supporting even aspiration. However, users should ensure the pipette tip length and angle are appropriate for the reservoir dimensions to maintain accuracy.

What are the best practices for handling and storing these reservoirs?

Store the reservoirs in a clean, dry environment and keep them in their original packaging until use to maintain sterility. Handle with gloves in controlled environments to prevent contamination. Avoid stacking outside of intended packaging, and use immediately after opening to preserve product integrity in sensitive workflows.

Are there any limitations or considerations when using this reservoir?

This reservoir is intended for single-use applications and should not be reused, especially in contamination-sensitive workflows. It is best suited for moderate-volume tasks rather than high-throughput processing. Users should also ensure compatibility with their specific reagents, as certain aggressive chemicals may not be suitable for polystyrene materials.
