Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Multiwell Plate (Cat # DP120-SQ-384-GC10) — the shallow format in the ILP Glass Coated 384-well lineup, featuring the proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass-coated wells in a 384-well square U-bottom geometry at 14.40mm well height with 120 µL well volume. The DP120-SQ-384-GC10 brings the transformative benefits of SiO₂ glass coating technology to the 384-well format — quadrupling the sample throughput of the 96-well format while maintaining glass-like chemical inertness in every one of the 384 wells.
The 384-well format of the DP120-SQ-384-GC10 is the preferred scale for high-throughput screening (HTS) compound libraries, miniaturized bioanalytical workflows, and any application where the cost and volume reduction advantages of 384-well vs. 96-well processing are compelling. At 120 µL per well, the DP120-SQ-384-GC10 provides sufficient working volume for compound storage in DMSO, miniaturized bioanalytical sample preparation, high-throughput SPE at reduced volumes, and other workflows where the SiO₂ glass coating's advantages — reduced extractables, lower oxygen transmission, superior chemical resistance, and minimized lipophilic adsorption — are even more critical at the smaller per-well volume scale where relative surface area to volume ratio is higher than in deeper well formats.
The U-bottom square well geometry provides even distribution of liquid across the well base — ideal for mixing, optical measurements, and workflows requiring consistent sample distribution. A key advantage of the 384-well square well format vs. round wells: the square geometry eliminates dead space between wells, maximizing the working volume available at this scale. The shallow 14.40mm height ensures compatibility with the widest range of 384-well plate autosamplers, liquid handlers, plate readers, and other standard 384-well plate instrumentation. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Plates.
KEY FEATURES
- 384-well square U-bottom format — quadruples throughput vs. 96-well formats while maintaining glass-like well surface inertness in every well
- SiO₂ glass coating even more impactful at 384-well scale — higher surface area to volume ratio at 120 µL per well means proportionally greater exposure of sample to well wall; glass coating eliminates this adsorption risk
- Square well geometry — eliminates dead space between wells for maximum volumetric efficiency at 384-well scale; U-bottom for even liquid distribution
- 120 µL well volume — sufficient for compound storage in DMSO, miniaturized bioanalytical sample preparation, and high-throughput SPE at reduced volumes
- Shallow 14.40mm height — maximum compatibility with standard 384-well plate autosamplers, liquid handlers, plate readers, and plate-handling instrumentation
- Proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass inner well coating — molecularly thin glass barrier between sample and PP well wall; glass-like surface properties in a plastic plate
- Eliminates plastic leaching — SiO₂ barrier reduces extractables and leachables from PP into 120 µL samples where even trace contamination is proportionally more impactful
- Reduced oxygen transmission rate — glass coating reduces O₂ permeation; critical for oxygen-sensitive compounds at miniaturized scale
- Superior chemical resistance — glass-like resistance to DMSO and organic solvents at 384-well scale
- Minimizes analyte adsorption — glass surface reduces non-specific binding; maximizes analyte recovery from 120 µL wells where adsorptive losses are proportionally larger
- Eliminates need for glass inserts or specialty coated plates in 384-well format
- Automation compatible — standard 384-well SBS footprint for all standard 384-well instrumentation
- Thermally and chemically stable: -80°C to +80°C
- Packaged 10 plates per pack
