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

Product Description

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

Square V-Bottom Wells — Maximum Sample Recovery at the Largest 96-Well Deep Well Volume The square V-bottom well geometry of the D3096-45S 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. At 2.3mL — the largest volume in the LIGHT LABS OptiWell™ lineup — the square V-bottom geometry is especially valuable for applications requiring complete recovery from large-volume reactions, bead-based workflows with substantial buffer volumes, and any sterile workflow where maximum well volume combined with complete sample recovery are both required simultaneously.

2.3mL Per Well — The Largest Volume in the 96-Well Deep Well Format The 2.3mL per-well capacity of the D3096-45S is the largest volume in the 96-well deep well format available in the LIGHT LABS OptiWell™ lineup — 0.1mL larger than the 2.2mL U-bottom formats (D3096-41S and D3096-43S) and providing the absolute maximum working volume for sterile bacterial culture, protein expression, bead-based extraction, and large-volume sterile compound preparation workflows. For labs whose protocols are specifically optimized at 2.3mL scale, or whose overnight bacterial culture volumes require slightly more medium than the 2.2mL format provides, the D3096-45S is the precisely correct sterile format.

D3096-45S vs. D3096-41S and D3096-43S — Square V-Bottom vs. Square U-Bottom at ~2.2mL Sterile:

The D3096-45S square V-bottom format is the correct choice when both maximum sample recovery and maximum well volume are simultaneously required in a sterile format — a combination not available in the U-bottom formats.

Sterile by Gamma Irradiation — Validated for Sterile Workflows Sterile. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. The D3096-45S 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 D3096-45S for sterile bacterial culture, protein expression, sterile compound preparation, and any sterile 96-well deep well application requiring square V-bottom geometry at maximum 2.3mL capacity.
