Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Multiwell Plate (Cat # DP21US-9-GC10) — the first of two 96-well square well deep well formats in the ILP Glass Coated Plate lineup, featuring the proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass-coated wells in a square well U-bottom geometry at 41.60mm well height and 2.0 mL well volume. The transition from round wells to square wells is a critical design difference that dramatically increases the volumetric efficiency of the 96-well footprint — square wells pack together with no dead space between wells, delivering significantly more volume per well and per plate than round wells of the same plate height. The DP21US-9-GC10's 2.0 mL square well volume at 41.60mm height makes it the highest-volume U-bottom format in the entire ILP Glass Coated Plate lineup when square wells are considered.
The square well U-bottom geometry of the DP21US-9-GC10 is the preferred format for high-throughput solid-phase extraction (SPE), protein precipitation, and sample preparation workflows that use 96-well positive pressure manifolds or centrifugation for liquid transfer — where the square well geometry maximizes the volume available for sample and elution solvent while the U-bottom provides even distribution of liquid across the well base for consistent flow through SPE sorbents. The SiO₂ glass coating addresses all three key performance gaps of standard polypropylene deep well plates simultaneously — eliminating plastic leaching and extractables, reducing oxygen transmission through well walls, and minimizing non-specific adsorption of lipophilic analytes to the well surface — making the DP21US-9-GC10 the analytically superior alternative to standard PP 96-well square well deep well plates for bioanalytical and discovery chemistry applications requiring glass-like chemical inertness. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for MTC Bio ILP Glass Coated Plates.
KEY FEATURES
- 96-well square well U-bottom deep well format — 41.60mm well height, 2.0 mL well volume; square well geometry maximizes volumetric efficiency vs. round wells of equivalent plate height
- Square wells pack without dead space — significantly more volume per well and per plate than round wells at the same height; superior volumetric efficiency
- U-bottom square well geometry — ideal for SPE, protein precipitation, centrifugation workflows where even distribution of liquid across well base is important
- Highest-volume U-bottom format in the ILP Glass Coated Plate lineup — 2.0 mL square U-bottom at 41.60mm provides maximum working volume for high-throughput sample preparation
- Proprietary SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) quartz glass inner well coating — creates molecularly thin glass barrier between sample and PP well wall; glass-like surface properties in a plastic plate format
- Eliminates plastic leaching — SiO₂ barrier dramatically reduces extractables and leachables from PP into sensitive bioanalytical samples
- Reduced oxygen transmission rate — glass coating reduces O₂ permeation through well walls; critical for oxygen-sensitive analytes at 2.0 mL storage volumes
- Superior chemical resistance — glass-like resistance to DMSO, ACN, MeOH, and other organic solvents at 2.0 mL scale
- Minimizes analyte adsorption — glass surface reduces lipophilic compound, drug, and protein adsorption for maximum quantitative recovery
- Eliminates need for glass inserts in 96-well square well deep well format
- Automation compatible — fits all standard autosamplers, liquid handlers, and 96-well positive pressure manifolds
- Thermally and chemically stable: -80°C to +80°C
- Packaged 10 plates per pack
