MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-45 96-Well Deep Well Plate, Square V-Bottom, 2.3mL, Non-Sterile — 50/Case (10 Bags of 5)

Product Description

The MTC Bio OptiWell™ D3096-45 is a 96-well deep well plate with square V-bottom wells and 2.3mL 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 D3096-45S.

D3096-45 vs. D3096-45S — Non-Sterile vs. Sterile: Choosing the Right Format The D3096-45 and D3096-45S are identical OptiWell™ 96-well square V-bottom 2.3mL deep well plates — sterility is the sole difference:

The D3096-45 non-sterile format is the correct choice for labs that do not require validated sterility — including compound library management at maximum volume, general sample storage, non-sterile automated liquid handling reformatting, and any 2.3mL application where plate contents do not require a sterile vessel. For bacterial culture and sterile bead-based workflows where sterility is required, the D3096-45S sterile format is the appropriate choice.

Square V-Bottom Wells — Maximum Sample Recovery at Maximum Volume in Non-Sterile Format The square V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-45 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 largest possible volume within the ANSI/SLAS standard 96-well footprint. For non-sterile compound cherry-picking at 2.3mL scale, non-sterile bead-based assay preparation requiring complete bead recovery, large-volume sample storage, and any non-sterile application requiring the combination of maximum sample recovery and maximum 2.3mL well volume, the D3096-45 provides the optimal combination of geometry and cost efficiency.

2.3mL Per Well — The Largest Volume at the Lowest Per-Plate Cost The 2.3mL per-well capacity of the D3096-45 is the largest volume in the LIGHT LABS OptiWell™ 96-well lineup — and as the non-sterile format, the D3096-45 delivers this maximum volume at the lowest per-plate cost in the 2.3mL square V-bottom format. For high-volume labs consuming large quantities of maximum-volume 96-well deep well plates for non-sterile workflows, the D3096-45 provides the best combination of maximum volume, maximum recovery geometry, and minimum cost.

Automated Platform Compatibility — ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 Standard For automated research platforms and robotic equipment. The D3096-45 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 2.3mL 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.
