Deep Well Plate FAQ's

This 96 deep well plate is designed for high‑throughput sample processing and
medium‑term storage, ideal for workflows such as nucleic acid extraction, sample
prep, mixing, and archiving in automated or manual lab setups.

Each well has a 2.2 mL maximum capacity with a recommended 2 mL working
volume to ensure reliable mixing, reduced risk of spillage, and optimal performance
on automated platforms.

BirdieRP Deep Well Plates are manufactured in an ISO class 8 cleanroom environment using
medical and laboratory grade polypropylene, providing excellent chemical
resistance, low extractables, and suitability for most biological and chemical
samples.

Sterility and Manufacturing

Yes. The plate is available in both sterile and non‑sterile formats, allowing you to
choose the option that best fits your workflow and contamination‑control
requirements.

Sterile versions are processed and packaged to help ensure they are free from
microbial contamination, making them suitable for sensitive applications such as
cell‑based assays and molecular biology workflows.

ISO class 8 cleanroom manufacturing means the plates are produced in a
controlled environment with low particle and microbial levels, helping minimize
contamination risk and batch‑to‑batch variability.

Compatibility and Standards

Yes. The plate complies with ANSI/SLAS 1‑2004 footprint standards, making it
fully compatible with all major automated liquid handling, robotic, and plate handling
systems that use the standard microplate format.

The ANSI/SLAS‑compliant design ensures compatibility with standard 96‑well
racks, shakers, centrifuge adapters, and many instruments designed for
SBS‑footprint plates; always verify instrument specifications for maximum height and
volume.

Yes. The plate is designed to work with a variety of standard sealing films and
caps/mats for 96‑well deep plates, supporting secure storage, reduced evaporation,
and contamination control.

Performance and Applications

It is ideal for sample lysis, mixing, and extraction workflows, compound or buffer
storage, cell or bacteria pellet prep, and general sample archiving in high‑throughput
or automated environments.

The polypropylene construction offers broad resistance to many aqueous
solutions, buffers, and common lab reagents, making it suitable for most routine
molecular biology and biochemistry applications.

Handling and Quality

Yes, the sterile 96 deep well is certified DNase‑/RNase‑free and non‑pyrogenic

The plate follows the standard 96‑well grid with alphanumeric labeling to simplify
sample identification and integration with LIMS and automated systems.

Store plates in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment at room
temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For sterile plates,
keep packaging sealed until use to maintain sterility.
