Product Description
The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-19S is a 96-well deep well plate with square V-bottom wells and 1.0mL 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.
Square V-Bottom Wells — Maximum Sample Recovery at 1.0mL in Sterile Format The square V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-19S combines the maximum sample recovery advantage of a conical V-bottom with the space-maximizing square well cross-section — concentrating 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. At the 1.0mL scale and in sterile format, this geometry is specifically suited for sterile compound cherry-picking from larger volumes, sterile bead-based assay preparation requiring complete bead recovery, sterile cell pelleting workflows, and any sterile application requiring the combination of maximum sample recovery and 1.0mL volume in a square well format.
1.0mL Per Well — Mid-Volume Sterile Square V-Bottom Format The 1.0mL per-well capacity of the D3096-19S provides a meaningful volume step up from the 0.5mL D3096-09S while remaining more compact than the 2.2mL sterile formats. The sterile 1.0mL square V-bottom format fills an important niche between the smaller sterile V-bottom plates (D3096-07S at 0.45mL round, D3096-09S at 0.5mL square) and the larger sterile deep well formats (D3096-41S and D3096-43S at 2.2mL) — providing mid-volume sterile working capacity with the sample recovery advantage of the V-bottom square well geometry.
D3096-19S vs. D3096-09S — Square V-Bottom Sterile at 1.0mL vs. 0.5mL:
| D3096-19S | D3096-09S | |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 1.0mL | 0.5mL |
| Well Shape | Square | Square |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | V-bottom |
| Sterile | Yes | Yes |
| Case Qty | 100 | 100 |
| Best For | Mid-volume sterile V-bottom applications | Small-volume sterile V-bottom applications |
D3096-19S vs. D3096-15S — Square V-Bottom vs. Round U-Bottom Sterile at 1.0mL: Both are sterile 96-well 1.0mL deep well plates — the well shape and bottom geometry are the key differentiators:
| D3096-19S | D3096-15S | |
|---|---|---|
| Well Shape | Square | Round |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | U-bottom |
| Volume | 1.0mL | 1.0mL |
| Sterile | Yes | Yes |
| Case Qty | 100 | 50 |
| Best For | Max sample recovery, sterile V-bottom workflows | Bacterial culture, mixing, cell suspension |
100 Plates Per Case — Maximum Supply Efficiency in Sterile Format Case of 100 plates — 10 bags of 10 plates each. The D3096-19S stands out in the sterile OptiWell™ family by offering 100 plates per case — double the 50/case format of most other sterile deep well plates in the lineup. This larger case quantity provides significant per-plate cost savings for high-throughput labs consuming sterile 1.0mL square V-bottom plates in large quantities — reducing reorder frequency and per-plate packaging overhead.
