A pipette-fillable fluid reservoir body (50), and a digital fluid dispense system (10) are provided. The pipette-fillable fluid reservoir body (50) includes two or more discrete fluid chambers (54A, 54B, 54C, 54D) therein. At least one of the fluid chambers contains a pressure compensation device (56) and at least another one of the fluid chambers is devoid of a pressure compensation device. Each of the fluid chambers is in fluid flow communication with a fluid supply via (64A, 64B, 64C, 64D), and each of the fluid chambers have sidewalls (52) and a bottom wall (70A, 70B) attached to the sidewalls, wherein the bottom wall slopes toward the fluid supply via. The pipette-fillable fluid reservoir body also includes an ejection head support face in fluid flow communication with the fluid chambers for attachment of a fluid ejection device to the ejection head support face for ejecting fluid from the fluid chambers. |
