ILP Round Well, V-Bottom MicroPlates - 96 

Huge round top wells (with conical V-bottom) provide easier access and up to 480 uL per well of working volume in this short (14.4 mm high) micro-plate.

Manufactured from chemically resistant and inert virgin polypropylene, this plate is optimized for sample collection; combinatorial chemistry; library applications, bacterial and yeast growth, storage, and sample recovery.  

The V-bottom design helps to concentrate reagents and samples, by minimizing the amount of both needed. It also improves sample recovery, while larger diameter wells improve sample access and overall volume.

The sturdy design and ANSI/SLAS 2004 compliant footprint (SBS) allow for automated usage with grippers, stackers, and heater/cooler blocks.

Raised rims on each well make for easy and secure sealing with adhesive films, silicone mats, or heat-sealing films, help prevent cross-contamination, and reduce sample loss in storage.
