96-Well Deep Well Microplates, Chamfered Bottom, 2.0 mL Well Volume, Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC), Natural — 290-8556-08C | 5/Bag (20/Case)

Technical Narrative

The Caplugs® Evergreen is a 96-well deep-well Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) microplate with 2.0 mL per well — 20× the capacity of standard 96-well plates — in the SBS/ANSI standard footprint compatible with all standard plate liquid handlers, centrifuge adapters, and plate readers. The deep-well format eliminates the volume constraint of standard plates for high-yield extraction, cell culture harvest, automated sample prep. The chamfered bottom guides pipette tips and robotic needle arrays toward the well center during automated dispensing and aspiration — reducing tip-crash events and improving recovery accuracy in high-speed automated sample prep. Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) construction provides DMSO + -80°C cryo + autoclave.

PPC provides the highest chemical and temperature resistance of the three deep-well material options: superior DMSO resistance vs PP, -80°C ultra-low temperature stability for cryo archive deep-well plates (where standard PP can become brittle), and autoclave compatibility at 121°C. PPC's copolymer toughness maintains deep-well geometry through repeated -80°C freeze-thaw cycling — critical for deep-well compound archive plates that cycle between cryo storage and ambient-temperature dispensing.

At $86.54 per 5/Bag — $4.3266 per plate — the delivers 2.0 mL deep-well PPC capacity at per-plate economics for sample prep programs. Also available: 290-8556-03C (PP Natural, 2.0 mL chamfered).

Frequently Asked Questions — Caplugs® Evergreen

What is the advantage of 2.0 mL deep-well plates over standard 96-well plates?

The 2.0 mL well volume provides 20× the capacity of standard 96-well format wells in the same SBS footprint. This enables: high-volume lysis buffer incubation per well without overflow; larger input volumes for DNA/RNA extraction protocols; complete protein precipitation with adequate organic:aqueous phase ratio; multi-step extraction and wash series in a single well; and per-well biobank aliquoting at higher volumes. The same SBS footprint maintains compatibility with existing automation infrastructure.

Is the PPC deep-well plate suitable for -80°C storage?

Yes. PPC (Polypropylene Copolymer) maintains structural integrity and dimensional stability at -80°C ultra-low temperature — the key advantage over standard PP for cryo archive deep-well plates. PPC's rubber-toughened copolymer matrix resists the brittleness that develops in standard PP under repeated -80°C freeze-thaw cycling. Choose PPC whenever -80°C archive storage is part of the deep-well workflow.

Are the deep-well plates compatible with centrifugation?

Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) deep-well plates in SBS footprint are compatible with standard centrifuge adapters for 96-well SBS plates. Typical use: 500–4,000 × g for pelleting and clarification. Confirm the g-force limit with your centrifuge rotor manufacturer before exceeding 2,000 × g — deep-well plate walls are thicker than standard plates but g-force limits depend on fill volume and rotor geometry.
