These 96 deep well storage microplates are especially designed for use with magnetic separators for bead separation protocols. Due to the special shape of the stacking ribs, the plate sits much lower on the magnetic separator than standard round well plates thus facilitating the speed and efficiency of the separation process. The plates are ultra-flat for a completely uniform seal; sealing possible with either adhesive or heat seals. Manufactured in an ISO class 7&8 cleanroom facilities, the plates are certified free of RNase, DNase, human genomic DNA and endotoxins. Only the highest medical grade virgin polypropylene with high resistance against chemicals such as DMSO, phenol, and chloroform is used.
- Made from polypropylene, a material with very low biomolecular binding characteristics, a high temperature tolerance and resistance to many standard laboratory chemicals, including DMSO
- Autoclavable
- Free from RNase, DNase, human genomic DNA and endotoxins
- V-shaped bottom
- Round wells: suitable for most applications, as they reduce droplet effects and wicking
- Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
- SBS footprint
- Perfect fit to magnetic separators: the magnetic beads separate perfectly into e.g. a ring (if a ring magnet is used) allowing easy removal of supernatant from the centre of the well by manual or automated pipetting
- Replaces the 96-well storage plates, round well, 0.8mL (MIDI plate, Fisher Scientific® part number AB-0859), in e.g. Illumina® protocols
- Best for small volume recovery due to the V-shaped bottom, as the liquid gathers at the lowest point of the V for easy pipetting
- Compatible with plate readers and ideal for use with automation
- Temperature range for use: -80 to 120°C
- Ultra-low DNA binding option available (PCR0238) for sensitive applications with ultra-low DNA input and for maximum DNA recovery after low temperature storage and high temperature incubation
