Hi all,

Has any one used the 60mL aluminum reservoir lids?

Where do you store the lid after removal? Is there a holder/adaptor for the lid when you are pipetting? Or just have a dummy 60mL reservoir to store the lid?

Thanks!

Haven’t used them and based on the description it looks like 1 channel picks it up and removes it before placing/holding it somewhere? Anyone else have experience with them?

There is no holder/adapter for the lid. You would just use a dummy/unused reservoir to park it as @bowlineknot suggested.

Hi @bowlineknot

I am using them on my assays to prevent evaporation.

In my assay I have 5 RGT-60 throughs and I have setup one of the other throughs as a parking position. It works great.

If you need any help, just ask.

Thanks for the use case info! I was thinking of using them for a light sensitive reagent in combination with the black reservior option.

Do you clean your lids in-between uses or regular schedule?

We cover ethanol with these lids so we do not expect any cleaning to be necessary. However, we enforce a policy on the lab that everything should be clean as possible.
