MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-25 | 96-Well Deep Well Plate, Square U-Bottom, 1.2mL, Non-Sterile — 50/Case (10 Bags of 5)

Product Description

The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-25 is a 96-well deep well plate with square U-bottom wells and 1.2mL 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.

Square U-Bottom Wells — Maximum Volume Efficiency with Uniform Mixing at 1.2mL The square U-bottom well geometry of the D3096-25 combines the space-maximizing capacity of a square well cross-section with the rounded base of a U-bottom — delivering the maximum volume capacity within the ANSI/SLAS standard 96-well footprint while the rounded well base promotes efficient resuspension and uniform mixing of cells, beads, and precipitates during shaking incubation and centrifugation. For non-sterile bacterial culture, mixing-dependent bead assays, and general sample storage where the square well's volume advantage over round wells is important, the D3096-25 square U-bottom format provides the optimal combination of volume efficiency and mixing performance at 1.2mL scale.

1.2mL Per Well — Square U-Bottom at Mid-Deep Well Volume The 1.2mL per-well capacity of the D3096-25 provides a meaningful volume step up from the 1.0–1.1mL round formats while the square well cross-section delivers more working volume than a round well of equivalent depth — making the D3096-25 the highest-volume non-sterile mid-range deep well option in the LIGHT LABS OptiWell™ lineup below the 2.2–2.3mL large-format plates. For non-sterile bacterial culture protocols that require the combined advantages of square well volume and U-bottom mixing geometry at 1.2mL scale, the D3096-25 is the specifically correct format.

D3096-25 vs. D3096-29 — Square U-Bottom vs. Round Flat-Bottom at 1.2mL Non-Sterile: Both plates are non-sterile 96-well 1.2mL deep well plates — the well shape and bottom geometry are the critical differentiators:
