Heathrow Scientific Reagent Reservoir 50mL PVC Non-Sterile — V-Bottom Design for Maximum Reagent Recovery
The Heathrow Scientific 50mL Reagent Reservoir (120690) is a clear, translucent PVC disposable reservoir engineered for multichannel pipetting workflows. Featuring a precision V-shaped well design, this reservoir channels liquid to the lowest point of the basin, enabling maximum reagent recovery and minimizing costly reagent waste during high-throughput plate loading. Graduation markings at 25mL and 50mL are printed on the top edge with a fill line for quick visual volume confirmation. Each pack contains 100 reservoirs, bulk wrapped. Compatible with all standard multichannel pipettes and the Heathrow Scientific Reagent Reservoir Chiller for temperature-sensitive applications.
Features and Benefits
- V-Shaped Well Design for Maximum Recovery: Precision-molded V-bottom channels reagent to the lowest point, reducing dead volume and ensuring maximum liquid recovery during multichannel pipetting — minimizing waste of expensive enzymes, antibodies, and assay reagents.
- Clear Translucent PVC Construction: Transparent PVC material allows visual confirmation of reagent volume, color, and clarity without removing the reservoir from the pipetting station.
- Easy-Read Graduation Markings: 25mL and 50mL graduation marks on the top edge with fill line enable quick volume estimation during reagent loading.
- Compatible with Heathrow Reservoir Chillers: Fits the Heathrow Scientific 50/55mL Reagent Reservoir Chiller (120730/120731/120732) for ice-free cold reagent dispensing.
- Pack of 100 — Bulk Wrapped: Economical 100-count bulk packaging for high-throughput laboratories that consume reservoirs daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these reservoirs compatible with the Heathrow Reservoir Chiller?
Yes. The 120690 50mL reservoir fits the Heathrow Scientific 50/55mL Reagent Reservoir Chiller (120730/120731/120732) for ice-free cold reagent dispensing during multichannel pipetting.
Are these reservoirs sterile?
No. The 120690 is a non-sterile, bulk-wrapped reservoir. For sterile applications, Heathrow Scientific offers sterile PVC reservoirs (individually wrapped in bags of 5) under separate SKUs.
What is the dead volume of the V-bottom reservoir?
The V-shaped well design minimizes dead volume by channeling liquid to the lowest point of the basin. Exact dead volume depends on pipette tip geometry, but the V-bottom design provides significantly better recovery than flat-bottom reservoirs.
