1.2 mL 96-Well Round U-Bottom Deep Well Plate

The Puretest 1.2 mL 96-well deep well plate combines round wells and smooth U-shaped bottoms for efficient sample resuspension, mixing and recovery. It is a practical low-profile choice for parallel sample preparation, storage and automated liquid handling where a 2 mL plate provides unnecessary headspace.

  • 1.2 mL nominal capacity: Supports up to approximately 1.0 mL working volume in suitable workflows while preserving sealing and mixing headspace.
  • Round U-bottom wells: Promote smooth fluid movement, resuspension and accessible sample recovery.
  • 96-well 8 × 12 array: Enables parallel processing with multichannel pipettes and compatible automation.
  • High-purity polypropylene: Provides chemical resistance and low biomolecule binding for routine sample handling.
  • Uniform well molding: Supports consistent pipetting heights, sealing pressure and inter-well performance.

PRODUCT DETAILS

1.2 mL 96-Well Round U-Bottom Deep Well Plate for Reliable Sample Processing and Storage

The Puretest 1.2 mL 96-well deep well plate combines round wells and smooth U-shaped bottoms for efficient sample resuspension, mixing and recovery. It is a practical low-profile choice for parallel sample preparation, storage and automated liquid handling where a 2 mL plate provides unnecessary headspace.

The plate uses 96 round wells in an 8 × 12 arrangement. The curved U bottom avoids a sharp apex, making it suitable for shaking, suspension resuspension and aspiration where a smooth bottom transition is preferred. The lower profile reduces storage volume and plastic height compared with higher-capacity formats while retaining a common microplate footprint.

Product Highlights

  • 1.2 mL nominal capacity: Supports up to approximately 1.0 mL working volume in suitable workflows while preserving sealing and mixing headspace.
  • Round U-bottom wells: Promote smooth fluid movement, resuspension and accessible sample recovery.
  • 96-well 8 × 12 array: Enables parallel processing with multichannel pipettes and compatible automation.
  • High-purity polypropylene: Provides chemical resistance and low biomolecule binding for routine sample handling.
  • Uniform well molding: Supports consistent pipetting heights, sealing pressure and inter-well performance.
  • Raised sealing rims: Help films or mats form an independent seal around each well.
  • Clear alphanumeric identification: Simplifies plate maps and sample traceability.
  • Multiple supply options: Sterile status, packaging and quality documentation are confirmed with the quoted SKU.

Plate Structure and Functional Design

The plate uses 96 round wells in an 8 × 12 arrangement. The curved U bottom avoids a sharp apex, making it suitable for shaking, suspension resuspension and aspiration where a smooth bottom transition is preferred. The lower profile reduces storage volume and plastic height compared with higher-capacity formats while retaining a common microplate footprint.

A working volume up to approximately 1.0 mL is a common reference for this nominal 1.2 mL format, but mixing speed, sealing method, temperature and transport conditions may require more headspace. Confirm the final operating volume with the current drawing and your protocol.

Values are nominal unless a tolerance is stated in the current Puretest drawing. Confirm dimensions, working-volume limits, packaging and applicable quality documentation before equipment validation or a production order.

Application Guide

Application Why This Format Is Suitable
Sample resuspension Smooth U bottoms support controlled mixing without a narrow conical apex.
Genomics sample preparation Processes multiple lysates, washes or intermediate samples in parallel.
Compound and reagent storage Compact well capacity reduces unused headspace relative to larger formats.
Suspension-cell workflows Round wells assist mixing and pellet resuspension in validated protocols.
Automated liquid handling 96-position array supports multichannel and robotic pipetting after carrier validation.
Serial dilution and assay preparation Provides useful capacity for intermediate dilution plates and mother plates.

Workflow and Equipment Compatibility

  • Manual single-channel and multichannel pipetting
  • Automated liquid handlers, plate movers and stackers using a compatible carrier
  • Selected centrifuge carriers and microplate shakers after mechanical validation
  • Adhesive film, heat-sealing film and geometry-matched silicone sealing mats
  • Cold storage, sample preparation and extraction workflows within the validated SKU limits

Material, Cleanliness and Quality Documentation

The plate is manufactured from natural high-purity polypropylene selected for chemical resistance, low biomolecule binding and reliable molding consistency. Available cleanliness and supply configurations should be defined in the quotation. Puretest can confirm the applicable DNase/RNase, pyrogen, sterility and lot-document status for the selected catalog configuration.

If your workflow requires a Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Conformance, irradiation record, dimensional report, extractables information or a specific contaminant limit, state the requirement before ordering. This ensures that the quoted SKU and batch documentation match your laboratory or regulated purchasing specification.

Sealing, Storage and Handling

  • Use a compatible adhesive film, heat-sealing film or silicone sealing mat selected for the well geometry.
  • Keep the sealing surface clean and dry; confirm plate and sealer settings before transport or long-term storage.
  • For validated autoclavable configurations, use 121°C for 20 minutes and allow the plate to cool without mechanical load. Confirm the current SKU before autoclaving.
  • Leave adequate headspace for mixing, shaking, thermal expansion and sealing; nominal well capacity is not the recommended working volume.
  • Confirm the supported temperature and centrifugation limits for the selected SKU, rotor, carrier and fill volume.
  • Inspect the plate and package before use. Do not use a sterile product if its package is open, wet, punctured or otherwise damaged.

Ordering Information, Packaging and OEM Support

The plate footprint is designed around common ANSI/SLAS microplate conventions for use with multichannel pipettes, plate handlers and automated liquid-handling platforms. Compatibility still depends on the instrument carrier, gripper, deck position, plate height, tip penetration and software settings; validate the current drawing and a physical sample before routine automation.

Puretest supports samples, technical drawings, sterile and non-sterile supply options, private labels, customer catalog numbers, barcodes, customized pouch and carton artwork, and distributor packaging programs. MOQ, case quantity, carton dimensions, lead time and international shipping method are confirmed with the selected configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What working volume should I use?

Up to approximately 1.0 mL per well is a common reference for a 1.2 mL plate. Reduce the volume when shaking, heating or transporting, and validate the final protocol.

When should I choose round U-bottom wells?

Choose them when smooth mixing, resuspension and general sample recovery are more important than the concentrated aspiration point of a V bottom.

Can the plate be centrifuged?

Yes in an appropriately supported microplate carrier within the validated SKU limit. Confirm the current RCF rating, rotor support and fill volume before use.

Which seal should I choose?

Use a seal matched to the round-well rim and storage conditions. Adhesive films suit routine handling, heat seals support stronger transport seals, and silicone mats may support repeated access.

Can Puretest provide a sample for automation testing?

Yes. Send the instrument model, carrier details, liquid volume and destination so a suitable sample can be arranged.
