ASPIR-8™ Reagent Reservoirs
Manufacturer: MTC Bio
The MTC Bio ASPIR-8™ Reagent Reservoirs break away from the industry standard "one-size-fits-all" mentality. While most laboratories are forced to use elongated 12-channel basins for every multichannel application, the ASPIR-8 is uniquely engineered with a 75mm inner chamber precisely portioned to accommodate 8-channel pipettes. This narrow, space-saving architecture serves a vital dual purpose: it minimizes dead volume and restricts unnecessary surface area exposure, drastically cutting down on evaporation and the waste of expensive reagents, master mixes, or antibodies. Whether you are running routine ELISAs, cell culture inoculations, or high-throughput PCR assays, the ASPIR-8 keeps your expensive fluids pooled exactly where your tips need them.
Description
The MTC Bio ASPIR-8™ is the ideal reservoir for any lab utilizing 8-channel pipettes. The strict inner dimensions are designed specifically for 8-channels, thus conserving space and reagent over their longer 12-channel counterparts. This thinner design minimizes reagent exposure and usage. ASPIR-8 is the only reservoir basin that is tailor-made for your 8-channel instrument.
Features:
- V-Bottom Geometry: The center trough features a steep V-shaped baseline. This structural design channels the remaining fractions of liquid into a highly concentrated narrow strip, allowing multichannel tips to draw up the last drops without sucking air.
- Smart Multi-Packing Options: The -5S series splits 200 sterile basins into quick-open packs of 5. This layout prevents you from compromising the sterility of a large batch when you only need a handful of reservoirs for a small assay flight.
- Rigid Wall Support: Despite their lightweight properties, the reservoir walls are structured to prevent bowing or buckling when picked up, ensuring spill-free transit between your reagent station and multi-well plates.
Liquid Handling Best Practices:
- Reagent Preservation: Because these reservoirs are explicitly customized for an 8-channel footprint, do not attempt to squeeze a 12-channel pipette into the 75mm chamber. Forcing wider head spacing can scrape the walls and cause uneven tip loading.
- Aseptic Technique: For cell culture or ultra-clean molecular biology work, select the Individually Wrapped (-1S) options. Open the peel-pouch carefully inside a running biological safety cabinet to maintain a zero-contamination zone.
- Chemical Deflection: These basins show great compatibility with common aqueous buffers, saline solutions, and diluted biological stains. If handling aggressive solvents, verify your chemical resistance protocols beforehand.
