MICROPLATE READERS
NEW REAGENT RESERVOIRS LAUNCHED M
anufactured to the
ANSI/SLAS
standard, the new range of reagent reservoirs from Porvair Sciences is designed for simple integration into any automated liquid handling system. Moulded from high-
purity polypropylene, in a Class 10,0000 cleanroom environment, the reagent reservoirs offer chemical compatibility with most organic solvents, acids and bases. High heat resistance allows the reagent reservoirs to be autoclaved clean. Microplate product manager at Porvair Sciences, Krzysztof Kielmann, commented:
minimal waste of precious reagents.” He added: “Labs will find our reagent reservoirs versatile tools for adding or mixing samples, standards or reagents in high- throughput applications that involve use of multichannel pipettes.” With a choice of 20
“For labs pipetting reagents, it is important to minimise waste when using reservoirs. Our new range of reagent reservoirs incorporates a novel ‘pyramid bottom’ with a very low dead volume ensuring
working configurations, as well as liquid volumes, an optimised reagent reservoir is available to suit liquid handling applications using eight or 12-channel pipettes right through to 96- and
384-tip automated pipetting systems. For more information visit

AFFORDABLE REAGENT DISPENSER DEVELOPED I
ntegra Biosciences has developed the Welljet family of dispensers to reduce running costs, increase productivity and provide longer walk- away times for bulk microplate filling and reagent dispensing. Available with or without an automated plate stacker, the Welljet uses the innovative EasySnap dispensing cassette to provide accurate and precise hands-free filling of plates
ranging from six to 1,536 wells – as well as deep well plates and tube racks in plate format – for a wide range of applications. The new product’s low cost EasySnap dispensing cassette is ideal for accurate and reliable bulk reagent dispensing. Each cassette features precisely moulded silicone tubing at the interface with the peristaltic pump unit, minimising channel-to-channel variations and therefore eliminating the need for time- consuming cassette
calibration. In addition, the ergonomic and robust design of the cassette ensures straightforward installation and removal

without worrying about breaking components or making mistakes. Available in three sterile models – small bore 8 and 16 channel, and large bore 8 channel – these cassettes provide accurate and precise dispensing over a broad volume range of 0.5 μl to 10ml. The dispenser and dispenser stacker
both feature ultracompact designs to save valuable bench space or fit inside a laminar flow cabinet. These dispensers enable a vast number of applications, from cell-based, kinetic and screening assays to ELISAs and genomic or proteomic analyses. Both systems offer quick and efficient set-up of dispensing protocols via a large, high resolution touchscreen and intuitive user interface. The Welljet dispenser stacker also provides hands-free processing of plates, with front-loading towers for up to 25 or 50 plates to increase throughput and extend walk-away times.
