2 L Collection Bottle with Lid and Gasket for Aspire

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.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Replacement collection bottle: Aspire chassis only. Order this SKU when:

1. Replacement. Original bottle is cracked, scratched, contaminated with chemical residue resistant to cleaning, or has reached service life from extended autoclave cycles
2. 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
3. Multi-chassis facilities. Facilities running multiple Aspire chassis maintain spare-bottle inventory for fleet maintenance
4. 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. It 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.
