Corning Microplate 320ul Storage V-Bottom Case of 100 Plates

Corning Costar 3363 96-Well Polypropylene Storage Microplate (V-Bottom)

The Corning Costar 3363 is a premium 96-well microplate engineered for the secure storage and high-recovery processing of chemical libraries and biological samples. Manufactured from medical-grade, high-purity polypropylene, this plate offers exceptional chemical resistance to aggressive solvents like DMSO and is thermally stable for use in ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C) or autoclaving. The specialized V-bottom (conical) well geometry is designed to concentrate liquid at the lowest point of the well, significantly reducing dead volume and ensuring maximum sample recovery during manual or automated pipetting. With its standard ANSI/SLAS footprint and robust construction, the 3363 is the industry standard for high-throughput screening, genomics, and compound management workflows.

Technical Performance and Design

• Inert Polypropylene Construction: The low-binding nature of the polypropylene resin minimizes the non-specific adsorption of proteins and nucleic acids, preserving the concentration and integrity of high-value samples.

• High-Recovery V-Bottom: The conical well base directs fluids toward the center, facilitating complete aspiration and making it the ideal format for concentrated samples or small working volumes.

• Automation-Ready Design: Designed to meet international microplate standards, ensuring physical compatibility with robotic liquid handlers, stackers, and plate readers from all major manufacturers.

• Raised Well Rims: Features raised rims around each well to provide an optimized sealing surface for adhesive films, heat-sealing foils, or silicone compression mats, effectively preventing cross-contamination and evaporation.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Compound Library Management: The chemical inertness of polypropylene makes these plates perfect for the long-term storage of chemical compounds dissolved in DMSO.

• Genomic Sample Preparation: Ideal for PCR plate setup, DNA/RNA dilution, and magnetic bead-based purification protocols where high recovery is essential.

• Analytical Chemistry: Often used for sample preparation in HPLC and LC-MS workflows due to the low extractable profile of the virgin plastic.

• Cold Storage & Biobanking: Robust enough for use in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and ultra-low temperature freezer environments.
