Caplugs Evergreen 96-Well Plate 290-8195-Z1F Polystyrene Flat Bottom

Description

Product Overview

The Caplugs Evergreen 96 Well Plate is engineered for laboratories that demand precision, reliability, and ease of use in high‑throughput applications. Constructed from high‑quality black polystyrene, the plate offers excellent optical clarity for visual inspection while minimizing background fluorescence in fluorescence‑based assays. The flat‑bottom design creates a uniform surface that promotes even cell distribution, consistent reagent mixing, and reliable optical readings across all 96 wells. Each well holds up to 0.37 mL, providing ample volume for cell culture, enzymatic reactions, PCR mixes, and small‑volume sample storage. The plate dimensions (11 × 10 × 10 in) and lightweight construction (0.01 oz) make it easy to handle, stack, and integrate into automated liquid‑handling systems. The model number 290‑8195‑Z1F uniquely identifies the black, non‑sterile version, ensuring compatibility with existing inventory and simplifying ordering processes.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of laboratory workflows, this plate excels in cell culture, biochemical assays, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and short‑term sample storage. Researchers in molecular biology, microbiology, pharmacology, and biotechnology can rely on the consistent well geometry to achieve reproducible results in plate‑based experiments. The raised rim around each well reduces the risk of cross‑contamination and helps retain liquids during vigorous mixing or centrifugation. When paired with the matching Caplugs Evergreen lid, the plate forms a sealed environment that limits evaporative loss, making it suitable for long‑duration incubations at 37 °C or higher. Its black background also minimizes stray light, enhancing signal‑to‑noise ratios in luminescence and fluorescence assays. The plate is compatible with standard microplate readers, automated plate washers, and robotic handlers, allowing seamless integration into high‑throughput screening pipelines.

Why Choose Us

Caplugs Inc. has a long‑standing reputation for delivering laboratory consumables that meet stringent quality standards. The Evergreen series undergoes rigorous quality control at multiple manufacturing sites worldwide, ensuring each plate meets the exact specifications required for critical research applications.

FAQ

Is this plate sterile?

No, the Caplugs Evergreen 96‑Well Plate is supplied non‑sterile. Users should sterilize the plate according to their laboratory protocols before use in cell culture or aseptic applications.

Can the plate be used with standard microplate readers?

Yes, the plate conforms to the SBS footprint and is fully compatible with most plate readers, including absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence instruments. The black background helps improve signal quality in fluorescence‑based measurements.

What is the maximum well volume?

Each well can hold up to 0.37 mL (370 µL) of liquid, providing sufficient capacity for most cell‑based assays, PCR reactions, and small‑volume sample storage.

Is the plate compatible with automated liquid handling systems?

Absolutely. The plate’s dimensions and precise well geometry are designed for seamless integration with robotic pipetting platforms, plate washers, and centrifuges commonly used in high‑throughput laboratories.

How should the plates be stored to maintain quality?

Store the plates in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original packaging until use helps protect the polystyrene from dust and moisture, preserving optical clarity and dimensional stability.
