Fisherbrand Microplate 500 ul Round Bottom PP - Case of 80 Plates

Fisherbrand 96-Well Round-Bottom Polypropylene Microplate (12-565-502)

The Fisherbrand 12-565-502 is a high-quality 96-well microplate engineered for reliable sample storage, library management, and general laboratory liquid handling. Manufactured from medical-grade, high-purity natural polypropylene, this plate offers exceptional chemical resistance against a wide range of laboratory reagents and solvents, including DMSO. The specialized round-bottom (U-bottom) well geometry is designed to facilitate efficient mixing and minimize sample loss, as it prevents fluids from getting trapped in sharp corners. With its standard ANSI/SLAS footprint and robust construction, the 12-565-502 ensures seamless integration with manual multichannel pipettes and automated liquid handling workstations.

Technical Performance and Design

• Chemically Inert Polypropylene: The high-purity polypropylene resin provides ultra-low non-specific binding of proteins and nucleic acids, ensuring that the concentration and integrity of sensitive samples are preserved during storage.

• Efficient Round-Bottom Geometry: The U-bottom design is optimized for applications requiring high mixing efficiency and total liquid retrieval, making it the preferred format for bead-based assays and dilutions.

• Thermal Stability: Engineered to withstand a wide temperature range, these plates are suitable for both ultra-low temperature storage (-80°C) and autoclaving for sterile applications.

• Sealing Compatibility: Features a consistent, flat top surface designed to provide an airtight seal with adhesive films, heat-sealing foils, or silicone compression mats to prevent evaporation and cross-contamination.
