Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Multiwell Plate (Cat # DP04UR-9-GC10) — a 96-well round well U-bottom plate featuring the same proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass-coated wells as the rest of the ILP Glass Coated Plate line, in the shallow U-bottom format with 14.75mm well height and 335 µL well volume. The DP04UR-9-GC10 occupies the space between the 500 µL DP35UR-9-GC10 and the 300 µL V-bottom DP36VR-9-GC10 in the shallow ILP Glass Coated Plate lineup — providing a 335 µL U-bottom format that is particularly well-suited for applications requiring a slightly larger working volume than the V-bottom format while retaining the gentle curved base of the U-bottom for even distribution of sample across the well floor.
The U-bottom geometry of the DP04UR-9-GC10 provides a broad, gently curved well base that distributes liquid evenly across the well bottom — ideal for cell culture, mixing assays, absorbance-based plate reader measurements, and general sample storage where even sample distribution and optical consistency are more important than the sharp-point concentration of a V-bottom well. Like all ILP Glass Coated Plates, the SiO₂ glass coating creates a molecularly thin quartz glass barrier on the inner surface of each well — eliminating plastic leaching, reducing oxygen transmission, providing superior chemical resistance to organic solvents, and minimizing non-specific adsorption of lipophilic compounds, proteins, and analytes to the well surface. Automation compatible and thermally/chemically stable from -80°C to +80°C. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Plates.
KEY FEATURES
- 96-well round well U-bottom format — 14.75mm well height, 335 µL well volume; gently curved base for even sample distribution across well floor
- Intermediate shallow U-bottom format — 335 µL capacity bridges the gap between the 300 µL V-bottom (DP36VR-9-GC10) and 500 µL U-bottom (DP35UR-9-GC10) formats
- Proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass inner well coating — creates a molecularly thin glass barrier between sample and polypropylene well wall; glass-like surface properties in a plastic plate format
- Eliminates plastic leaching — SiO₂ barrier dramatically reduces extractables and leachables from polypropylene into sensitive samples
- Reduced oxygen transmission rate — glass coating reduces O₂ permeation through well walls; critical for oxygen-sensitive samples and compounds
- Superior chemical resistance — glass-like resistance to organic solvents and aggressive chemicals; ideal for chemical synthesis, extraction, and compound handling
- Improved sample recovery and consistency — reduces non-specific adsorption of lipophilic compounds, proteins, and analytes; more analyte remains in solution with less well-to-well variability
- Eliminates the need for glass inserts — glass-like sample contact in a standard SBS-format plate
- Automation compatible — fits all standard autosamplers, liquid handlers, and plate-handling instrumentation
- Thermally and chemically stable: -80°C to +80°C
- Packaged 10 plates per pack

KEY ADVANTAGES OF SiO₂ GLASS COATING vs. STANDARD PP PLATES
| Challenge | Standard PP Plate | ILP Glass Coated Plate |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic Leaching | PP can release trace additives into samples | SiO₂ barrier eliminates contact between sample and polymer |
| Oxygen Transmission | O₂ permeates through PP walls | Glass coating reduces O₂ transmission rate |
| Lipophilic Adsorption | Compounds stick to PP surface, reducing recovery | Glass surface reduces non-specific adsorption |
| Chemical Resistance | Limited vs. organic solvents | Glass-like resistance to solvents and aggressive chemicals |
| Glass Inserts | Required for glass-like performance | Eliminated — glass coating achieves same result |
