OptiWell™ 24 Deep Well Plates

Manufactured from virgin, medical-grade polypropylene, these plates exhibit ultra-low liquid retention and minimal biomolecule binding. Produced in a Class 100,000 cleanroom, every plate is certified RNase/DNase-free and non-pyrogenic, ensuring the absolute purity required for sensitive molecular biology and microbiology applications.

Features:

• Maximum Sample Recovery: Conical V-bottom configuration ensures total aspiration of liquids and efficient collection of magnetic beads
• Fully compliant with ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 standards for seamless integration with robotic grippers and magnetic particle processors
• Rated for centrifugation up to 4,000 x g RCF, making them suitable for cell pelleting and clearing lysates
• Feature bold, black printed alphanumerics to prevent errors during manual or automated sample loading
• Available in standard autoclavable or pre-sterilized (gamma-irradiated) formats
• Compatible with silicone sealing mats and adhesive films to prevent cross-contamination and evaporation during storage

Application Insights:

The 24-well format is the "sweet spot" for researchers who need more volume than a standard 96-well plate (2.2 mL) but require more throughput than individual tubes. It is particularly effective for:

• Large-volume viral RNA extraction from environmental or clinical samples
• Protein purification using magnetic beads where large wash volumes are required
• Culturing aerobic bacteria where increased headspace and surface area improve oxygenation
