MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-07S | 96-Well Deep Well Plate, Round V-Bottom, 0.45mL, Sterile — 100/Case (10 Bags of 10)

The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-07S is a 96-well deep well plate with round V-bottom wells and 0.45mL capacity per well — sterile by gamma irradiation, virgin medical-grade polypropylene, black printed alpha-numerics, minimal binding and liquid retention, compatible with all popular automated research platforms and robotic equipment. OptiWell plates come in 24, 48, 96, or 384 format for virtually every research lab, HTS application, and automated/robotic platform. These plates are useful for bacterial cultures, centrifugation (up to 4,000 × g) and general sample storage. Plates are produced and packaged in a Class 100,000 clean room and are ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 compliant. All plates are certified non-pyrogenic and RNase/DNase free. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. Case of 100 plates — 10 bags of 10 plates each.

D3096-07S vs. D3096-07 — Sterile vs. Non-Sterile: The Only Difference The D3096-07S and D3096-07 are identical OptiWell™ 96-well round V-bottom 0.45mL deep well plates — sterility is the sole difference:

The D3096-07S is the correct choice for labs requiring validated sterility in the 0.45mL round V-bottom format — including sterile bacterial culture, sterile automated liquid handling, and any application where the plate contents require a sterile vessel. For non-sterile applications such as compound management, general sample storage, and non-sterile automation, the more economical D3096-07 is the appropriate choice.

Round V-Bottom Wells — Complete Sample Recovery in Sterile Format The round V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-07S concentrates sample, beads, or pellets to the lowest point of each well — minimizing dead volume and maximizing recovery by pipette tip or robotic probe from every well — now in a validated sterile format. The round well cross-section provides maximum compatibility with the widest range of pipette tips, robotic liquid handling probes, and multichannel pipettes — ensuring reliable sterile liquid handling across all 96 wells. For sterile workflows requiring complete sample recovery from each well, the D3096-07S provides the optimal combination of round V-bottom recovery geometry and validated gamma irradiation sterility.

D3096-07S vs. D3096-09S — Round V-Bottom vs. Square V-Bottom Sterile at Similar Volume: Both are sterile 96-well V-bottom deep well plates at very similar volumes — the well shape is the key differentiator:

Sterile by Gamma Irradiation — Validated for Bacterial Culture and Sterile Workflows Sterile. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. The D3096-07S is sterilized by gamma irradiation — providing validated, reliable sterility without heat damage or residual chemical concerns. The "S" suffix designates the sterile format. Gamma irradiation sterilization qualifies the D3096-07S for bacterial culture at 0.45mL scale, sterile compound preparation, sterile automated liquid handling, and any sterile 96-well deep well application requiring the round V-bottom geometry at 0.45mL capacity.

0.45mL Per Well — Compact Sterile Deep Well Format The 0.45mL per-well capacity provides meaningful volume over standard sterile microplates (0.2–0.3mL) while maintaining a compact plate height — the preferred sterile format for workflows requiring more volume than a standard microplate without the full depth of a 2.2mL sterile deep well plate. For sterile bacterial culture at small scale, sterile reagent preparation, and sterile automated liquid handling where larger formats provide excess capacity, the D3096-07S 0.45mL sterile round V-bottom format is the optimal specification.

D3096-07S in the Full OptiWell™ 96-Well Deep Well Family:

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-07S conforms to ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 standard 96-well microplate footprint dimensions — ensuring compatibility with all major automated liquid handling platforms including Hamilton, Tecan, Beckman Coulter, PerkinElmer, Agilent, and other standard HTS robotic systems.

4,000 × g Centrifugation Rating Centrifugation up to 4,000 × g. The robust polypropylene construction of the D3096-07S withstands centrifugal forces up to 4,000 × g — covering all standard plate centrifugation protocols for sterile bacterial cell pelleting, bead collection, and sample concentration at 0.45mL scale.

Virgin Medical-Grade Polypropylene — Minimal Binding and Liquid Retention Minimal binding / liquid retention. Virgin, medical-grade polypropylene. Manufactured from virgin medical-grade polypropylene — free from recycled resin contaminants and extractables. Certified RNase/DNase free and non-pyrogenic.

Black Printed Alpha-Numerics — Instant Well Identification Black printed alpha-numerics. Molded black alpha-numeric well identification (A through H rows, 1 through 12 columns) allows instant identification of specific wells during liquid handling setup and data recording.

Class 100,000 Cleanroom Production — Certified Purity Plates are produced and packaged in a Class 100,000 clean room. All plates are certified non-pyrogenic and RNase/DNase free.
