Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Multiwell Plate (Cat # DP36VR-9-GC10) — a 96-well round well V-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 V-bottom format with 14.60mm well height and 300 µL well volume. The V-bottom geometry of the DP36VR-9-GC10 is a critical differentiator from the U-bottom DP35UR-9-GC10 — the sharp V-bottom profile concentrates samples to a precise point at the bottom of each well, maximizing sample recovery of small or precious volumes by pelleting cells, precipitates, and particles in a sharply defined focal point for aspiration — rather than distributing them across the broader curved surface of a U-bottom well.
The DP36VR-9-GC10 is the preferred format for cell pelleting, protein precipitation, and small-volume sample recovery workflows where quantitative, complete sample retrieval from the tip of the well is critical. 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 and extractables from polypropylene into sensitive samples, reducing oxygen transmission through well walls, providing superior chemical resistance to organic solvents and aggressive chemicals, and minimizing non-specific adsorption of lipophilic compounds, analytes, proteins, and biologics 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
- V-bottom round well geometry — sharp V-bottom profile concentrates samples, cells, precipitates, and particles to a precise focal point for complete, quantitative aspiration and maximum sample recovery of small volumes
- Preferred format for cell pelleting, protein precipitation, and small-volume recovery vs. U-bottom round well plates
- 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
- 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
- Eliminates the need for glass inserts — glass-like sample contact in a standard SBS-format plate
- 96-well round well, V-bottom format — 14.60mm well height, 300 µL well volume; shallow format for standard-depth 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 |
V-BOTTOM vs. U-BOTTOM — CHOOSING THE RIGHT WELL GEOMETRY
| Feature | V-Bottom (DP36VR-9-GC10) | U-Bottom (DP35UR-9-GC10) |
|---|---|---|
| Well Bottom | Sharp pointed V | Broad curved U |
| Sample Concentration | Concentrates to precise focal point | Distributes across broader curved surface |
| Best For | Cell pelleting, precipitation, quantitative small-volume recovery | General storage, mixing, standard assays |
| Aspiration Efficiency | Maximum — complete recovery from tip of well | Good — slightly broader residual volume |
APPLICATIONS
- Cell pelleting and collection from small volumes in 96-well format
- Protein precipitation and pellet collection
- Small-volume sample concentration and recovery
- Compound library storage in organic solvents requiring quantitative recovery
- Chemical synthesis and extraction workflows requiring glass-like chemical resistance and V-bottom recovery
- Sample preparation for LC-MS/MS requiring low background and complete sample transfer
- Storage of oxygen-sensitive compounds requiring reduced O₂ transmission
- Any 96-well round well V-bottom application requiring glass-like surface inertness and maximum small-volume recovery
