Product Description
The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-19 is a 96-well deep well plate with square V-bottom wells and 1.0mL capacity per well — non-sterile, 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. Case of 100 plates — 10 bags of 10 plates each. The sterile version is available as D3096-19S.
D3096-19 vs. D3096-19S — Non-Sterile vs. Sterile: Choosing the Right Format The D3096-19 and D3096-19S are identical OptiWell™ 96-well square V-bottom 1.0mL deep well plates — sterility is the sole difference:
| D3096-19 | D3096-19S | |
|---|---|---|
| Sterility | ❌ Non-sterile | ✅ Sterile — gamma irradiation |
| Best For | Compound management, general automation, non-sterile V-bottom workflows, sample storage | Sterile bacterial culture, sterile bead workflows, sterile cell-based assays |
| Volume | 1.0mL | 1.0mL |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | V-bottom |
| Well Shape | Square | Square |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Case Qty | 100 | 100 |
The D3096-19 non-sterile format is the correct choice for labs that do not require validated sterility — including compound library management at 1.0mL scale, general sample storage, non-sterile automated liquid handling reformatting, and any 1.0mL square V-bottom application where plate contents do not require a sterile vessel. For bacterial culture and sterile cell-based assays where sterility is required, the D3096-19S sterile format is the appropriate choice.
D3096-19 vs. D3096-09 — Square V-Bottom Non-Sterile at 1.0mL vs. 0.5mL:
| D3096-19 | D3096-09 | |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 1.0mL | 0.5mL |
| Well Shape | Square | Square |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | V-bottom |
| Sterile | No | No |
| Case Qty | 100 | 100 |
| Best For | Mid-volume non-sterile V-bottom workflows | Small-volume non-sterile V-bottom workflows |
D3096-19 vs. D3096-15 — Square V-Bottom vs. Round U-Bottom Non-Sterile at 1.0mL: Both are non-sterile 96-well 1.0mL deep well plates — the well shape and bottom geometry are the key differentiators:
| D3096-19 | D3096-15 | |
|---|---|---|
| Well Shape | Square | Round |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | U-bottom |
| Volume | 1.0mL | 1.0mL |
| Sterile | No | No |
| Case Qty | 100 | 50 |
| Best For | Max sample recovery, compound management, cherry-picking | Bacterial culture, mixing, cell suspension |
Square V-Bottom Wells — Maximum Sample Recovery at 1.0mL for Non-Sterile Workflows The square V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-19 concentrates sample, beads, or pellets to the absolute lowest point of each well for complete recovery by pipette tip or robotic probe — while the square cross-section delivers the maximum volume capacity within the ANSI/SLAS standard 96-well footprint. For non-sterile compound cherry-picking at 1.0mL scale, non-sterile bead-based assay preparation requiring complete bead recovery, sample reformatting, and any non-sterile application requiring the combination of maximum sample recovery and 1.0mL square well volume, the D3096-19 provides the optimal combination of geometry and cost efficiency.
100 Plates Per Case — Maximum Supply Efficiency Case of 100 plates — 10 bags of 10 plates each. Like the sterile D3096-19S, the D3096-19 offers 100 plates per case — double the 50/case format of many other deep well plates in the lineup. This larger case quantity provides significant per-plate cost savings for high-throughput labs consuming non-sterile 1.0mL square V-bottom plates in large quantities — and as the non-sterile format, the D3096-19 delivers the lowest per-plate cost in the 1.0mL square V-bottom format.
