Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Multiwell Plate (Cat # DP35UR-9-GC10) — a revolutionary 96-well round well U-bottom plate featuring proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass-coated wells that deliver the chemical inertness, low extractables, and superior surface properties of glass while retaining the durability, light weight, automation compatibility, and impact resistance of polypropylene. The DP35UR-9-GC10 is the shallow format in the ILP Glass Coated 96-well round well lineup — 14.40mm well height, 500 µL well volume — making it the preferred choice for standard-depth compound storage, sample preparation, and analytical workflows requiring glass-like chemical resistance.
The SiO₂ glass coating is applied to the inner surface of each well using a proprietary process that creates a molecularly thin, chemically stable quartz glass barrier between the sample and the polypropylene well wall. This single innovation addresses all three of the most persistent problems with standard polypropylene multiwell plates simultaneously: plastic leaching (trace additives and other compounds released from PP into samples), oxygen transmission (oxygen permeating through PP walls and degrading oxygen-sensitive samples), and lipophilic compound adsorption (sticky analytes, compounds, and biologics binding to the PP well surface rather than remaining in solution).
The result is a plate that provides glass-like chemical resistance, low extractables/leachables, reduced oxygen transmission rate, and significantly improved sample recovery for analytes that tend to stick to polypropylene — while remaining fully compatible with all standard automation platforms, autosamplers, liquid handlers, and plate-handling instrumentation. Thermally and chemically stable from -80°C to +80°C. Eliminates the need for glass inserts or glass-lined vials in standard multiwell plate formats. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Plates.
KEY FEATURES
- Proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass inner well coating — creates a molecularly thin glass barrier between sample and polypropylene well wall; delivers glass-like surface properties in a plastic plate format
- Eliminates plastic leaching — SiO₂ coating acts as a barrier between the sample and the polymer, dramatically reducing extractables and leachables from polypropylene into sensitive samples
- Reduced oxygen transmission rate — glass coating significantly reduces O₂ permeation through well walls vs. uncoated PP plates; critical for oxygen-sensitive samples and compounds
- Superior chemical resistance — glass is more resistant than PP to organic solvents and aggressive chemicals; ideal for chemical synthesis, extraction, and compound handling in organic solvents
- Improved sample recovery and consistency — reduces non-specific adsorption of lipophilic compounds, analytes, and biologics to well walls; more analyte remains in solution for better quantitation and less well-to-well variability
- Eliminates the need for glass inserts — achieve glass-like sample contact in a standard SBS-format plate without expensive glass inserts or specialty glassware
- 96-well round well, U-bottom format — 14.40mm well height, 500 µL well volume; shallow standard format ideal for compound storage and standard-depth analytical workflows
- 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 |
APPLICATIONS
- Compound library storage in organic solvents (DMSO and others)
- Chemical synthesis and extraction workflows requiring glass-like chemical resistance
- Sample preparation for LC-MS/MS and other analytical techniques requiring low background
- Storage of oxygen-sensitive compounds requiring reduced O₂ transmission
- Bioanalytical workflows where PP extractables interfere with sensitive detection methods
- Protein, peptide, and antibody storage where PP adsorption causes sample loss
- High-density sample storage requiring glass-like surface inertness in standard plate format
- Any 96-well round well application where polypropylene chemical interference, leaching, or adsorption must be minimized
