Measuring dead volume in INTEGRA’s multichannel reagent reservoirs

Dead volume is a real problem when transferring reagents into multiwell plates using a multichannel pipette, especially when handling expensive or rare solutions. To overcome this issue, INTEGRA developed a two-compartment reservoir that enables pipette tips to sit on the bottom and prevents liquids from pooling, offering the lowest dead volume on the market. In this technical note, INTEGRA provides experimental data to demonstrate this, and guidance to support users in setting up their experiments.
