Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 222-8082-01R provides 8-Well Round-Bottom PS Sterile Strips, 0.37 mL per well, 1200/Bag (150 strips of 8 wells). 8-well strips fit standard SBS-format 96-well plate frames — allowing the analyst to load only the number of strips needed for a given run rather than using an entire 96-well plate. This reduces reagent and sample consumption on low-throughput days while maintaining full compatibility with plate readers, multichannel pipettes, and liquid handling systems designed for the SBS plate footprint. The round-bottom well geometry provides a gentle U-shape for suspension cell culture and mixed-volume liquid assays.
PS: optically clear for plate reader compatibility, low autofluorescence, compatible with standard cell culture media and biological reagents. BPA-free, phthalate-free, FDA-compliant,
Procurement economics: $427.08/Bag (1200 strips), $0.3559/strip. LabSupplies.com ships from USA inventory, typically same business day.

8-Well Strip Applications
The 8-well round-bottom strips fit standard SBS-format 96-well plate frames and are compatible with the following workflows.
| Application | Setting / Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Partial-plate assay setup | 8 strips in plate frame = full 96-well footprint | Load only as many strips as needed for the run |
| Low-throughput plate reader | Plate reader, standard 96-well adapter | Same SBS footprint as full plate; reads normally |
| Suspension cell assays | Incubator, round-bottom strips in frame | U-bottom for lymphocyte, NK, and suspension assays |
| Serial dilution panel | 8-well strip per dilution series | One strip per sample, multiple dilutions down the strip |
| Multi-channel pipetting | 8-channel pipette, strip-to-strip transfer | 8-well format aligns with standard 8-channel pipette |
| Reagent staging | Strip as reagent reservoir in well | Use one strip as multi-well reagent trough |
| QC and reference wells | One strip per control, separate from test plate | Dedicated strips for positive/negative controls |
Chemical Resistance — Polystyrene (PS) Microplate / Well Strip
Compatibility reference for PS at typical assay and cell culture conditions.
| Reagent / Condition | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aqueous buffers / saline | Excellent | PS compatible across pH 4–10. |
| Cell culture media (RPMI, DMEM) | Excellent | PS: standard cell culture material. |
| Formalin (10% NBF) | Excellent | Compatible for cell fixation. |
| Methanol (<100%) | Limited | Short-term compatible; avoid prolonged contact. |
| DMSO (<1%) | Good | Compatible at standard assay concentrations. |
| Detergents (Tween-20, Triton) | Good | Compatible at standard assay concentrations. |
| Acetone / chloroform | Not Compatible | Dissolves PS; do not use. |
| Plate reader wavelengths | Excellent 400–750 nm | PS opaque to UV; not for UV-Vis assays below 320 nm. |
Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen 8-well round-bottom PS sterile strips serve clinical and research laboratories requiring partial-plate flexibility in a standard SBS-compatible format. The 8-well strip format allows low-throughput runs — 8, 16, 24 wells, or any multiple of 8 — without wasting an entire 96-well plate. Point-of-care serology labs running daily HAI panels with fewer than 96 samples load only the strips needed; PCR labs use strips in frame for post-PCR gel loading and product staging; cell biology labs use one strip per treatment condition in multi-condition experiments where the full 96-well format has excess well capacity. The 1200/Bag bulk format provides high-volume supply for daily-use strip labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 8-well strips sterile?
Yes. Sterile — packed 1200/Bag (150 strips of 8 wells).
Are the 8-well strips compatible with standard 96-well plate frames?
Yes. The 8-well strips are designed to fit standard SBS-format 96-well plate frames (128 mm × 86 mm footprint). Load as many strips as needed for a given assay run — up to 12 strips fill a standard 96-well frame. Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes (8-channel aligned to the 8-well strip orientation).
What is the advantage of 8-well strips vs a full 96-well plate?
8-well strips allow partial-plate use — you consume only the strips needed for a run (e.g., 3 strips = 24 wells for a low-throughput assay) rather than a full 96-well plate. This reduces reagent and sample waste for low-throughput protocols, and allows each strip to be used independently as a mini-plate for small-scale assays. Full plates are more efficient for high-throughput runs where all 96 wells are used.
