How Tube Selection Impacts Reagent “Dead Volume” in Automated Workflows


Publications & Posters

Residual “dead volume” in labware can lead to significant waste of reagents, stem cells, and enzymes—materials often critical to research and challenging to replace. Even in automated workflows designed to enhance efficiency, this hidden loss can compromise both budgets and experimental outcomes.

Recent advancements in tube design, such as tapered configurations, offer a practical solution. Understanding how labware impacts sample recovery can help with optimizing efficiency and reducing waste in automated workflows. Download our poster to learn more.
