| Quadrated
reservoir: uChannelQuadΤ
This is a low volume reservoir for use with various automated liquid
handlers and manual laboratory use. This reservoir uses ACME-Automations
unique MicroTrough to create an ultra low wetting volume for expensive
reagents. When sealed, tip touching can be performed. It is Multimek
position 5 friendly.
Automated Use:
Define the reservoir using the respective software utilities for your
Liquid handler.
To do this refer to the following dimensions. *Tip: the well access
locations , Length and width dimensions are the same as a standard 96 well
microplate.
Dimensions:
- Height:
.. 25.45 mm
- Max trough Depth:
.. 21.00mm
- X wide:
... 127.22mm
- Y narrow:
.. 85.26mm
- 1st row to -X edge:
14.25mm (96well plate
locations)
- 1st -Y edge:
.11.32mm
Specifications:
Material:
. PolyPropylene
Channels
. 4 quadrants
Channel capacity
.. ~41 ml per Quadrant
Minimum wetting
.. 10ul per uChannel Trough
Operation:
For the best operational performance, the reservoir base must remain as
flat and level as possible. Foil and wax seals can be utilized to reduce
evaporation and permit some form of tip touching.
Clean-up
Chemical Sterilization: Use of most commonly available disinfectants
can be used. Avoid prolonged exposure to the more aggressive disinfectants
to avoid any surface cracking. Autoclaving: Rinse clean in DI water prior
to periods of autoclaving. 121° C / 15 psi.
Cycle length of 15 minutes initial duration. The cycle period varies
according to the type of chemical / material exposure. Proper periods can
only be determined with experience. All plastic components have a limited
lifetime. |
