What is a deep well plate?

On the basis of the appearance size of the ordinary microplate, the deep well plate keeps the length and width in line with the international standard of SBS, and at the same time increases the depth of the hole, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the volume of each hole.

Types of deep well plates

1. According to the number of holes, the more common ones can be divided into 96-well plates and 384-well plates.

2. According to the hole type, the 96-well plate can be mainly divided into round hole type and square hole type. The 384-well plates are all square wells.

3. According to the shape of the bottom of the hole, there are two common types: U-shaped and V-shaped.

The scope of use of deep well plates

① To store samples:

It can replace the conventional 1.5ml centrifuge tube to store samples, and the storage is neat, space-saving, large storage capacity, and can withstand -80 ℃ refrigerator. Therefore, it is also called a storage block.

② Processing samples:

It can be combined with a discharge gun, high-throughput automatic liquid manipulation instruments and software to achieve high-throughput manipulation of biological samples, such as protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction. Greatly improve the efficiency of sample processing. PP material can withstand 121 ℃ high temperature and high pressure sterilization.

③ Sample injection operation:

Commonly used in various autosamplers, it can be directly placed in the sample chamber of the autosampler for injection. Compared with the traditional sample injection vial, it can not only double the number of samples in the sample chamber, but also realize the sample storage in the sample chamber. The 96-well plate can be directly injected after processing, eliminating the tedious work of drawing samples back and forth, placing samples, covering lids, inserting cannulas, and washing bottles.
