Product Description
The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-39 is a 96-well deep well plate with square V-bottom wells and 2.2mL 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 V-Bottom Wells — Maximum Sample Recovery at 2.2mL Non-Sterile Scale The square V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-39 combines the complete sample recovery of a conical V-bottom with the maximum volume capacity of a 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 within the ANSI/SLAS standard 96-well footprint. At 2.2mL in a non-sterile format, the D3096-39 square V-bottom is the most economical choice for non-sterile workflows requiring complete sample recovery at the large deep well volume scale — including non-sterile compound cherry-picking at 2.2mL scale, non-sterile bead-based assay preparation, and automated liquid handling reformatting requiring complete well aspiration.
D3096-39 vs. D3096-41 vs. D3096-43 — Choosing the Right 2.2mL Non-Sterile Format: Three distinct well bottom geometries are available in the non-sterile 2.2mL 96-well square deep well format:
| D3096-39 | D3096-41 | D3096-43 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Well Bottom | V-bottom (conical) | U-bottom Standard | U-bottom H-style |
| Volume | 2.2mL | 2.2mL | 2.2mL |
| Best For | Maximum sample recovery, compound cherry-picking, bead collection | Broadest general automation compatibility | KingFisher™, Accuris IsoPure™ magnetic bead platforms |
| Sterile | No | No | No |
| Case Qty | 50 | 50 | 50 |
The D3096-39 V-bottom format is the correct choice when complete sample recovery from each well is the primary performance requirement at 2.2mL non-sterile scale — for compound cherry-picking, complete bead aspiration, and any workflow where residual sample in the well corners would represent unacceptable sample loss.
D3096-39 vs. D3096-45 — Square V-Bottom 2.2mL vs. 2.3mL:
| D3096-39 | D3096-45 | |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 2.2mL | 2.3mL |
| Well Bottom | V-bottom | V-bottom |
| Well Shape | Square | Square |
| Sterile | No | No |
| Case Qty | 50 | 50 |
| Best For | Standard 2.2mL non-sterile V-bottom workflows | Maximum volume non-sterile V-bottom workflows |

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-39 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 bead collection, cell pelleting, and sample concentration at 2.2mL non-sterile 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.
