The round-bottom geometry ensures complete probe aspiration down to dead-volume minimums, reducing partial-sample errors during high-throughput clinical chemistry panels. HDPE construction offers superior chemical resistance compared to polystyrene, making these cups the preferred choice for aggressive reagent chemistries, elevated-temperature incubations, and extended sample hold times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e127-0017-020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottom Geometry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound Bottom, Freestanding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,000\/Bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA-free; no phthalate plasticizers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA (California)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical chemistry autoanalyzer sample loading in open-system cup positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-throughput reference laboratory panels requiring minimal dead-volume aspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHospital and clinical laboratory chemistry analyzers running routine metabolic, lipid, hepatic, and renal panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiotech and research workflows requiring freestanding HDPE sample cups compatible with standard autoanalyzer racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended sample hold and incubation workflows where polystyrene cup integrity may be a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round-bottom freestanding geometry of these cups is designed for open-system sample cup positions across a broad range of clinical chemistry analyzers. Validated deployment configurations include Hitachi\/Roche 717, 736, 737, 747, 911, and 917 analyzers (round-bottom standard rack) — the most common deployment for this cup style. Additional compatible platforms include the Roche Diagnostics COBAS MIRA and COBAS Integra 400\/700\/800 (open-system configuration), Olympus\/Beckman AU400, AU600, AU640, and AU2700, Beckman Coulter CX3, CX4, CX5 Delta, and DxC 600i\/700i\/800, Siemens Dimension RxL, XL, and Vista 1500\/3000, Abbott Diagnostics Architect c4000, c8000, and c16000, and Mindray BS-200, BS-300, and BS-400 series. Because rack configurations and aspiration-depth specifications vary by instrument model and site configuration, always validate cup seating, rack fit, and aspiration depth against your specific instrument setup before placing a bulk order.
