Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen is a 24-well deep-well Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) microplate with 10.0 mL per well and chamfered bottom — the highest-volume format in the Caplugs® Evergreen deep-well range, bridging the gap between standard 24-well plates (3.5 mL) and T-flask scale in a 24-position SBS/ANSI footprint. The 10.0 mL well volume supports large-scale cell culture at 5–8 mL working volume per well, high-yield protein expression screening that requires near-flask-scale culture volume, large-volume organoid embedding in Matrigel or BME, and maximum-input genomic DNA extraction. The chamfered bottom guides pipette tips and robotic needle arrays toward the well center during automated dispensing and aspiration in high-volume bioprocess and sample prep workflows.
PPC construction provides the complete deep-well material specification for the most demanding programs: full DMSO compatibility for compound-containing culture media and large-volume compound archive plates; -80°C ultra-low temperature stability for cryo archive deep-well plates that cycle between frozen storage and ambient-temperature dispensing; and autoclave compatibility at 121°C for pre-sterilized deep-well supply in cell culture and pathogen propagation programs. PPC's copolymer toughness maintains the chamfered well geometry through repeated thermal cycling — critical for DMSO compound archive plates at -80°C that must maintain dimensional accuracy across many freeze-thaw cycles.
At $94.05 per 5/Bag — $4.7025 per plate — the delivers 24-well 10 mL PPC deep-well capacity for high-volume programs. The 5/Bag format supports per-experiment allocation for bioprocess and expression screening programs running 1–5 deep-well plates per experiment.

24-Well 10 mL Deep Well Plate Compatibility — PPC
10 mL per well is the largest standard deep-well format in the Caplugs® Evergreen range — bridging 24-well plates (3.5 mL) and T-flask scale in a 24-position SBS footprint. Key applications:
| Application | Specimen / Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Large-scale cell culture | Primary cells, suspension culture at 5–8 mL | 10 mL well volume — 3× standard 24-well flask-equivalent per well |
| Virus propagation (max vol.) | High-volume plaque assay, TCID50 culture | 10 mL maximizes virus yield per well in 24-well SBS footprint |
| Organoid culture (high volume) | Large Matrigel/BME organoid embedding 5–8 mL | 10 mL headspace for large-volume 3D organoid culture systems |
| Protein expression screening | E. coli, yeast, insect cell expression 8–10 mL | 10 mL bridges 24-well and flask scale for parallel expression |
| Bioprocess development | Parallel fermentation and culture optimization | Chamfered bottom improves automated dispensing in bioprocess |
| DMSO compound storage (24-well) | Large-volume DMSO compound stocks per position | PPC DMSO compatibility for high-volume 24-well compound archive |
| Large-volume sample prep | Genomic DNA, large-volume protein extraction | 10 mL enables high-input extraction in 24-well SBS footprint |
| Metabolomics extraction | Large-volume metabolite extraction per sample | 10 mL per well for high-ratio organic:aqueous extraction |
Working volume: up to ~9 mL per well. Chamfered bottom guides automated pipette alignment. PPC: DMSO + -80°C cryo + autoclave — the premium deep-well specification for compound archive and demanding cell culture programs.
Chemical Resistance — Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC)
PPC: maximum chemical and cryo resistance for deep-well applications — DMSO + -80°C + autoclave.
| Reagent / Condition | Compatibility |
|---|---|
| DMSO (all concentrations) | ✓ Excellent |
| Aqueous buffers / media | ✓ Excellent |
| Short-chain alcohols | ✓ Excellent |
| Concentrated organic solvents | ✓ Good |
| Dilute acids / alkalies | ✓ Excellent |
| Storage at -80°C | ✓ Suitable — key advantage |
| Autoclave (121°C / 15 psi) | ✓ Compatible |

Frequently Asked Questions — Caplugs® Evergreen
What distinguishes the 24-well 10 mL format from 24-well standard and 48-well 5 mL deep-well?
The Caplugs® Evergreen deep-well range now spans three 24-position formats: Standard 24-well (290-8124-01F PS, $137.89/box): 3.5 mL per well — cell culture, plaque assay. 48-well deep-well (290-8560-08C PPC, $90.19/bag): 5.0 mL per well — 48 positions for scale-up. This 24-well 10 mL ( PPC, $94.05/bag): 10 mL per well — 24 positions, flask-bridge volume. Choose the 10 mL 24-well when you need the largest per-well volume in a 24-position footprint for large-volume expression, organoid, or compound archive programs.
Is PPC required for the 24-well 10 mL deep-well, or is PS or PP available?
The is available in PPC only. At 10 mL per well and the demanding applications this format serves — large-volume DMSO compound archive at -80°C, bioprocess culture, high-volume extraction — PPC is the appropriate material specification. PS would be insufficient for DMSO and cryo requirements; standard PP would lack -80°C cryo stability for archive deep-well programs. PPC delivers the combined DMSO + cryo + autoclave performance this format requires.
Are 24-well deep-well plates compatible with standard centrifuge adapters?
24-well deep-well plates in SBS footprint are compatible with standard centrifuge adapters for 24-well SBS plates. Typical use: 500–3,000 × g for pelleting and clarification in culture harvest and extraction workflows. Confirm your centrifuge rotor's SBS-footprint plate adapter rating and maximum g-force before spinning filled deep-well plates — deep-well walls are thicker than standard plates but g-force limits depend on fill volume and rotor geometry.
