Caplugs Evergreen 96-Well Sterile Round Bottom Plate with Lid 100 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Caplugs Evergreen 96‑Well sterile round‑bottom plate is engineered for demanding laboratory environments where precision, reliability, and consistency are paramount. Constructed from high‑quality natural polystyrene, the plate offers exceptional optical clarity, making it suitable for visual inspections, spectrophotometric measurements, and fluorescence assays. Each of the 96 wells is precisely machined to a volume of 0.32 mL, providing a balanced capacity that accommodates a broad spectrum of experimental protocols, from cell culture to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and high‑throughput screening.

Designed with a raised rim, the plate reduces the risk of cross‑contamination between adjacent wells and ensures a snug fit with the accompanying raised‑ring lid. The lid, made from the same polystyrene material, creates a sealed environment that curtails evaporation, preserves sample integrity, and maintains sterility throughout extended incubation periods. The round (U) bottom geometry promotes uniform cell settling and facilitates efficient mixing, which is especially beneficial for assays that require homogeneous sample distribution.

Usage

Researchers in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical settings will find the Evergreen 96‑Well plate indispensable for a variety of applications. In cell culture workflows, the round bottom design encourages cells to aggregate at the center of each well, simplifying downstream harvesting and analysis. For PCR and qPCR assays, the clear polystyrene substrate allows for real‑time fluorescence detection without interference, while the secure lid prevents condensation that could otherwise affect thermal cycling accuracy.

The plate is also well‑suited for enzyme kinetics, ligand binding studies, and small‑molecule screening where consistent well geometry and volume are critical for reproducible results. Its chemical compatibility with a wide range of solvents, buffers, and reagents ensures that it can be used across diverse experimental conditions without risk of material degradation. The 100‑pack format supports high‑throughput pipelines, enabling laboratories to maintain a steady inventory and reduce the time spent on re‑ordering.

FAQ

What is the compatibility of the plate with common solvents?

The natural polystyrene material is compatible with most aqueous buffers, cell culture media, and a variety of organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) up to 10% v/v. For higher concentrations of aggressive solvents, we recommend verifying compatibility with a small test batch.

Can the plates be used with automated liquid handling systems?

Yes, the Evergreen 96‑Well plates are designed to meet standard SBS footprint dimensions, making them fully compatible with most robotic pipetting platforms and plate readers. The raised rim and lid provide additional stability during high‑speed dispensing.

Is the plate sterile and how is sterility maintained?

All plates are supplied sterile, sealed in individual packaging to maintain aseptic conditions until opened. The sealed lid further protects the wells from external contaminants during storage and handling.

What is the recommended storage condition for the plates?

Store the plates at room temperature (15‑25 °C) in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. The sealed packaging helps preserve sterility and material integrity for up to 12 months.

How does the round bottom design benefit cell culture assays?

The round (U) bottom encourages cells to settle toward the center of each well, reducing edge effects and facilitating uniform exposure to nutrients and reagents. This geometry also simplifies cell harvesting for downstream analyses.
