MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-41 | 96-Well Deep Well Plate, Square U-Bottom Standard, 2.2mL, Non-Sterile — 50/Case (10 Bags of 5)

Product Description

The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-41 is a 96-well deep well plate with square U-bottom standard 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. The sterile version is available as D3096-41S.

D3096-41 vs. D3096-41S — Non-Sterile vs. Sterile: Choosing the Right Format The D3096-41 and D3096-41S are identical OptiWell™ 96-well square U-bottom standard 2.2mL deep well plates — sterility is the sole difference:

The D3096-41 non-sterile format is the correct choice for labs that do not require validated sterility — including compound library management, general sample storage, non-sterile automated liquid handling reformatting, and any 2.2mL application where plate contents do not require a sterile vessel. For bacterial culture, protein expression, and sterile cell-based assays where sterility is required, the D3096-41S sterile format is the appropriate choice.

D3096-41 vs. D3096-43 — Standard vs. H-Style at 2.2mL Non-Sterile: Both are non-sterile 96-well square U-bottom 2.2mL deep well plates — the well geometry designation is the key differentiator:

Square U-Bottom Standard Wells — Maximum Volume for General-Purpose Non-Sterile Deep Well Work The square U-bottom standard well geometry of the D3096-41 provides the maximum 2.2mL working volume within the ANSI/SLAS standard 96-well footprint while the standard square well cross-section ensures broad compatibility across all automated liquid handling platforms, robotic sample processors, and manual multichannel pipetting workflows. For non-sterile labs running compound library management, large-volume sample storage, and high-throughput automated liquid handling workflows where sterility is not required, the D3096-41 is the most economical and broadly compatible 2.2mL deep well format available.

2.2mL Per Well — Maximum Volume at the Lowest Cost in the OptiWell™ Family The 2.2mL per-well capacity of the D3096-41 is the largest standard volume in the 96-well deep well format — providing the maximum working volume for compound library storage, large-volume sample processing, and automated liquid handling workflows at 2.2mL scale. As the non-sterile format, the D3096-41 provides this maximum volume at the lowest per-plate cost in the 2.2mL family — making it the most economical choice for high-volume non-sterile applications where plates are consumed in large quantities.

D3096-41 in the Full OptiWell™ 96-Well Deep Well Family:

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-41 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. The robust polypropylene construction of the D3096-41 withstands centrifugal forces up to 4,000 × g — covering all standard plate centrifugation protocols for sample concentration, pelleting, and processing at 2.2mL scale.

Virgin Medical-Grade Polypropylene — Minimal Binding and Liquid Retention Minimal binding / liquid retention. Virgin, medical-grade polypropylene. Manufactured from virgin medical-grade polypropylene — free from recycled resin contaminants, processing aids, and extractables. 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) allows instant identification of specific wells during liquid handling setup and data recording.

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