MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-23 | 96-Well Deep Well Plate, Round V-Bottom, 1.1mL, Non-Sterile — 50/Case (10 Bags of 5)

The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-23 is a 96-well deep well plate with round V-bottom wells and 1.1mL 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 50 plates — 10 bags of 5 plates each. The sterile version is available as D3096-23S.

D3096-23 vs. D3096-23S — Non-Sterile vs. Sterile: The Only Difference The D3096-23 and D3096-23S are identical OptiWell™ 96-well round V-bottom 1.1mL deep well plates — sterility is the sole difference:

The D3096-23 non-sterile format is the correct choice for labs that do not require validated sterility — including compound library management at 1.1mL scale, general sample storage, non-sterile bead-based assay preparation, and any round V-bottom application where plate contents do not require a sterile vessel. For sterile bead-based workflows and sterile automated liquid handling where sterility is required, the D3096-23S is the appropriate choice.

D3096-23 vs. D3096-21 — Round V-Bottom vs. Round U-Bottom Non-Sterile at 1.1mL: Both plates are non-sterile 96-well round 1.1mL deep well plates — the well bottom geometry is the critical differentiator:

Round V-Bottom Wells — Complete Sample Recovery at 1.1mL for Non-Sterile Workflows The round V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-23 concentrates sample, beads, or pellets to the lowest point of each well for complete recovery by pipette tip or robotic probe — now in a non-sterile format at the 1.1mL volume. The round well cross-section provides maximum compatibility with the widest range of pipette tips, robotic liquid handling probes, and multichannel pipettes. For non-sterile compound cherry-picking at 1.1mL scale, non-sterile bead-based assay preparation requiring complete bead recovery, and any non-sterile application requiring complete sample recovery at 1.1mL volume, the D3096-23 provides the optimal combination of round V-bottom recovery geometry and lowest per-plate cost.

1.1mL Per Well — Non-Sterile Round V-Bottom at Mid-Volume and Lowest Cost The 1.1mL per-well capacity of the D3096-23 fills the precise volume niche between the 0.45mL round V-bottom (D3096-07) and the larger 2.3mL square V-bottom formats — providing non-sterile V-bottom working capacity at the exact 1.1mL volume at the lowest per-plate cost in this format. As the non-sterile format, the D3096-23 delivers the same round V-bottom recovery performance as the D3096-23S at a lower per-plate cost for applications that do not require sterility.

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-23 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 — covering all standard plate centrifugation protocols for cell pelleting, bead collection, and sample concentration at 1.1mL scale.

Virgin Medical-Grade Polypropylene — Minimal Binding and Liquid Retention Minimal binding / liquid retention. Virgin, medical-grade polypropylene. Certified RNase/DNase free and non-pyrogenic — the non-sterile designation refers only to the absence of gamma irradiation sterilization, not to the purity of the polypropylene resin.

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).

Class 100,000 Cleanroom Production — Certified Purity Plates are produced and packaged in a Class 100,000 clean room. Certified non-pyrogenic and RNase/DNase free — maintaining molecular biology grade purity standards despite the non-sterile designation.
