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

Product Description

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

Round V-Bottom Wells — Complete Sample Recovery at 1.1mL in Sterile Format The round V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-23S concentrates sample, beads, or pellets to the lowest point of each well for complete recovery by pipette tip or robotic probe — in a 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 — combining the sample concentration advantage of a conical V-bottom with the broad instrument compatibility of a round well. For sterile workflows requiring complete sample recovery at 1.1mL scale — including sterile compound cherry-picking, sterile bead-based assay preparation, and sterile automated liquid handling — the D3096-23S provides the optimal combination of round V-bottom recovery geometry and validated gamma irradiation sterility.

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

The D3096-23S V-bottom format is the correct choice when complete sample recovery to the well bottom is the primary performance requirement — for sterile bead collection, complete aspiration of small residual volumes, and compound cherry-picking workflows. The D3096-21S U-bottom format is preferred when uniform mixing and resuspension during shaking culture are the priority.

1.1mL Per Well — Sterile Round V-Bottom at Mid-Volume Scale The 1.1mL per-well capacity of the D3096-23S fills the precise volume niche between the sterile 1.0mL round V-bottom formats (D3096-07S at 0.45mL round V-bottom) and the larger sterile formats — providing sterile V-bottom working capacity at the exact 1.1mL volume for protocols specifically optimized at this scale. For sterile workflows requiring more volume than the 0.45mL round V-bottom (D3096-07S) but less than the 2.3mL square V-bottom (D3096-45S), the D3096-23S provides the intermediate sterile round V-bottom format.

Sterile by Gamma Irradiation — Validated Sterility Sterile. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. The D3096-23S 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 D3096-23S for sterile bead-based workflows, sterile automated liquid handling, sterile compound preparation, and any sterile 96-well deep well application requiring the round V-bottom geometry at 1.1mL capacity.

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-23S 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 sterile 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.

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).
