The V0020-BOT is the 2 L polycarbonate collection bottle for the Accuris Aspire Laboratory Aspirator (V0020) — sold as complete bottle assembly with lid and gasket. The bottle is autoclavable polycarbonate with overflow protection valve integrated into the lid (per V0020 user manual). Replacement / spare component for the Aspire aspiration system; one bottle is included with the Aspire chassis at first procurement.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Replacement collection bottle — Aspire chassis only. Order this SKU when:
- Replacement — original bottle is cracked, scratched, contaminated with chemical residue resistant to cleaning, or has reached service life from extended autoclave cycles
- Spare-rotation for heavy-throughput labs — production tissue-culture facilities benefit from a spare bottle for swap-in if the primary bottle is being autoclaved or contaminated
- Multi-chassis facilities — facilities running multiple Aspire chassis maintain spare-bottle inventory for fleet maintenance
- Multi-workflow segregation — labs running mixed workflows (e.g., tissue culture vs bacteria culture vs decontamination) benefit from dedicated bottles per workflow to prevent cross-contamination
Polycarbonate Material — Chemical Compatibility Constraint
Per V0020 user manual: DO NOT leave bleach or bleach solution in the collection bottle — bleach damages the polycarbonate material.
Compatible aspiration workflows (polycarbonate-safe):
- Tissue culture media (DMEM, RPMI, etc.)
- PBS / TBS wash buffers
- Most aqueous biological reagents
Incompatible aspiration workflows (polycarbonate-degrading):
- Bleach / hypochlorite solutions — degrades polycarbonate; use separate waste handling
- Strong organic solvents (acetone, chloroform, etc.) — confirm material compatibility before use
- Strong acids / bases — confirm material compatibility before use
For incompatible-workflow aspiration, consider workflow segregation (separate aspirator + bottle for the incompatible workflow) rather than risking polycarbonate degradation.
Autoclave Maintenance Cycle
The polycarbonate bottle is autoclavable — supports routine sterilization between workflow batches. Standard polycarbonate autoclave protocol: confirm exact cycle parameters with Accuris technical documentation (typical 121 °C / 15-20 min cycle for tissue-culture decontamination).
Autoclave service life: Polycarbonate degrades gradually with repeated autoclave cycles. Replacement bottle SKU procurement supports labs with heavy autoclave-cycling workflows where bottle service life is the limiting factor.
Application Profile
Replacement consumable for heavy-use Aspire chassis — production tissue-culture facilities running daily aspiration + autoclave-decontamination cycles consume bottle service life faster than light-use labs.
Spare-rotation inventory — facilities benefiting from a spare bottle on hand for autoclave-rotation workflow continuity.
Multi-workflow segregation — labs that want dedicated bottles per workflow (e.g., one bottle for tissue culture, separate bottle for bacterial culture).
Multi-chassis facility maintenance — sequencing cores, biotech R&D facilities, and clinical-research labs with multiple Aspire chassis maintain centralized spare-bottle stock.
Replacement after damage — bottle replacement after equipment-relocation or accidental damage incidents.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with chassis inventory. The V0020-BOT is chassis-specific to the Aspire — confirm Aspire chassis (V0020) is in inventory at order.
Cleaning / autoclave protocol. Standard tissue-culture cleaning + autoclave cycle applies. Avoid bleach storage in the bottle per polycarbonate compatibility constraint.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (V0020 in inventory), replacement vs spare-stock intent, bottle quantity needed, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard part terms — confirm at quote.
