Reagent reservoirs and pipettor stands are crucial accessories in modern laboratories, designed to enhance the efficiency and organization of liquid handling tasks. Reagent reservoirs are typically used in conjunction with multichannel pipettes for the dispensing of reagents and solutions. They are usually made from high-quality plastic, such as polystyrene or polypropylene, offering excellent chemical resistance and durability. These reservoirs are available in various volumes, commonly ranging from 25 mL to 100 mL, to suit different experimental needs. Their design includes features such as graduated markings for easy volume measurement and pour spouts for minimal spillage when transferring liquids. Some reagent reservoirs are designed with a sloped bottom or a V-shaped well to ensure complete reagent recovery, minimizing waste. Sterile versions are also available for applications requiring aseptic conditions. Pipettor stands, on the other hand, provide a convenient way to organize and store pipettes when not in use. These stands can hold single or multiple pipettes, keeping them upright and within easy reach, thus preventing contamination and potential damage. They are made from durable materials like acrylic, metal, or plastic, and come in various configurations, including carousel stands, linear racks, and wall-mounted holders. Some advanced pipettor stands incorporate features such as UV lights for sterilization and charging stations for electronic pipettes. The use of reagent reservoirs and pipettor stands not only improves workflow efficiency by keeping workspaces tidy and organized but also ensures the proper maintenance and longevity of pipettes.
