Thermo Scientific Deep Well Microplate 2 ml 96 Well Total of 20 Plates

Thermo Scientific 278743 96-Well Deep-Well Plate (2 ml, Polypropylene)

The Thermo Scientific 278743 is a high-performance 2 ml deep-well microplate engineered for demanding sample storage, preparation, and automated liquid handling. Manufactured from medical-grade, high-purity virgin polypropylene, this plate offers exceptional chemical resistance against solvents like DMSO and is thermally stable for ultra-low temperature storage (-80°C). The specialized square-well design maximizes volume capacity while the conical V-bottom geometry ensures that samples are concentrated at the lowest point, facilitating maximum recovery and minimal dead volume. With its rigid, warp-resistant construction and standardized ANSI/SLAS footprint, the 278743 provides seamless compatibility with robotic grippers, automated liquid handlers, and magnetic bead processors, making it an essential component for high-throughput screening and genomic research.

Technical Performance and Design

• Maximized Sample Recovery: The precision-molded V-bottom base is designed to concentrate liquid for effortless aspiration, ensuring that nearly 100% of the sample can be recovered by manual or automated pipette tips.

• High-Purity Polypropylene: Features an ultra-low non-specific binding surface that protects the integrity of proteins and nucleic acids, ensuring sample concentrations remain stable during long-term storage.

• Superior Structural Rigidity: The reinforced side walls and heavy-duty frame allow for high-speed centrifugation (up to 4,000 x g) and provide a flat, consistent surface for heat-sealing foils or adhesive films.

• Standardized Automation Footprint: Specifically designed to meet ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 standards, allowing for reliable use on all major automated platforms, including stackers and robotic workstations.

Key Benefits & Applications

• High-Throughput Screening (HTS): The ideal vessel for compound library management and primary screening due to its chemical inertness and low dead volume.

• Genomic Sample Prep: Extensively used for DNA/RNA extraction, magnetic bead-based purification, and the storage of PCR-ready templates.

• Biobanking & Cold Storage: Designed to withstand the stresses of repeated freeze-thaw cycles in ultra-low temperature freezers and vapor-phase liquid nitrogen.

• Analytical Chromatography: Acts as an excellent collection plate for HPLC and LC-MS fractions, thanks to its low-extractable plastic profile.
