White Polypropylene Round Reagent Reservoir, Fits on a FX ALP over a Conventional Horizontal Stirrer, Max Capacity 600 ml, SLAS Footprint in Bottom, 131.25 mm Diameter

Polypropylene circular reservoir built to fit on a Beckman ALP station. 131.5mm diameter reservoir centered and seated on top of a 12.7mm thick SBS dimension (85.48mm by 127.76mm rectangular platform). Made from a single piece of polypropylene. Price each

The VP 530G Round Reservoir is for keeping cells/beads in uniform suspension so that equal numbers can be consistently transferred by pipetting. The reservoir is large enough to accommodate 96 and 384 pipet heads. In addition to the VP 530G Round Reservoir we have developed a special low profile PTFE stir element for the VP 530G that is 120 mm long, 16.66 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick the VP 772FN-17-120A-150. It is perfect for keeping cells and beads in suspension while pipetting and keeping the dead volume to a minimum (85 ml). The VP 772FN-17-120A-150 low profile stir element can be sterilized by autoclaving. This reservoir will accommodate 600 ml of liquid and was designed with a rectangular SBS feature on the bottom which provides an easy and precise way to locate it on the deck pads of all robotic work stations.

Some robotic work stations allow you to place a conventional horizontal magnetic stirrer like the VP 706B3 under the deck and thus drive the Stir Element and in others like the Beckman FX, have optional horizontal magnetic stir machines built in. Unfortunately previous reservoirs used on the Beckman and PerkinElmer work stations were rectangular and resulted in cells settling out in the corners where the stir bar couldn’t reach. This problem is eliminated with the round design of the VP 530G and the long reach of the VP 772FN-17-120A-150.
