Product Description
Eppendorf Deepwell Plates 96 and 384 are highperformance plates fulfilling highest requirements of all manual and automated applications. They combine innovative features, like the OptiTrack matrix, with thoroughgoing quality for which Eppendorf consumables are globally known as a premium standard.
Product Information
Eppendorf Deepwell Plates 96 and 384 are high-performance plates for all manual and automated applications from sample storage at -86 C to DNA denaturation at 100 C. Manufactured from pure polypropylene (PP), these plates offer innovative features: more dependability. More efficiency. More stability. The plates are available with a white, yellow, green or blue border. For easy identification of wells, a high-contrast alphanumeric label is laser-engraved in the border. This allows you to find your sample up to 30 % more quickly while reducing pipetting errors. With all of these sophisticated features, these plates set new standards your laboratory.
OptiTrack well labeling
Our unique and easy to recognize OptiTrack labeling represents only one of the innovative features of Eppendorf Deepwell and Microplates. The Deepwell Plates are available with white, yellow, green or blue borders with laserinscribed, highcontrast alphanumeric labeling to easily identify wells. This reduces pipetting errors up to 30 % and makes everyday work simpler and faster. For more information see Application Note 202: Eppendorf Polypropylene Microplates Fast and secure identification of samples.
RecoverMax well design
Optimized well geometry for maximum sample recovery and excellent mixing/resuspension properties. The rounded and smoothed design of well corners prevent sample loss and minimize the residual volume. In square-well plates, the smooth contours also reduce capillary effects in well corners ("wicking") thus minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. For more information see Application Note 145: Eppendorf Plate Deepwell 96 and 384: RecoverMax. And also Application Note: Eppendorf Deepwell Plate: Determination of residual volumes during use with the automated pipetting system Eppendorf epMotion.

Superior Durability and CompatibilityEppendorf Deepwell Plates are made of high-quality polypropylene, offering robust chemical resistance against solvents and alcohols. They support a temperature range from -86C to +100C, ensuring suitability for a wide variety of laboratory workflows. Each plate is autoclavable for limited reuse and manufactured to be free from DNase, RNase, and human DNA, maintaining exceptional sample integrity.
Flexible Design for Various ApplicationsThese plates are available in multiple well formats with capacities suited for workflows such as PCR setup, sample archiving, and cell assays. Optional low binding surfaces cater to sensitive samples, while compatibility with sealing films, foils, and mats provides reliable storage and minimizes evaporation. Barcoded options enhance traceability in automated processes.
Ease of Use and Storage EfficiencyThe deepwell plates standard SBS footprint and stackable design streamline organization in both manual and automated environments. Their clear color facilitates quick identification of well contents, supporting efficient workflow execution, while their lightweight build and rigorously tested structure offer dependability for repeated laboratory use.
FAQs of Eppendorf Deepwell Plates:
Q: How can I seal Eppendorf Deepwell Plates effectively to prevent sample evaporation?
A: Eppendorf Deepwell Plates are compatible with a variety of sealing options, including films, foils, mats, and optional lids. These can help protect samples from evaporation, contamination, and spillage during storage or processing, especially in high-throughput applications.
Q: What types of chemical substances can Eppendorf Deepwell Plates safely hold?
A: Made from polypropylene with high chemical resistance, these plates are suitable for handling a wide range of chemicals, including solvents and alcohols. Their robust design ensures compatibility with most laboratory reagents used in molecular biology, compound screening, and cell studies.
Q: When should I choose a low binding or low retention surface treatment on the plates?
A: Low binding and low retention surfaces are recommended when working with sensitive samples like proteins, nucleic acids, or cells to reduce sample loss and maximize recovery rates. This feature is particularly beneficial for critical assays and protein crystallization experiments.
Q: Where are these plates manufactured and can they be exported or imported?
A: Eppendorf Deepwell Plates are produced under strict quality standards and are widely available through exporters, importers, suppliers, and manufacturers in India and globally. Multiple distribution channels ensure easy procurement for laboratories worldwide.
Q: What benefits do barcoded deepwell plates provide for sample management?
A: Barcoded versions offer efficient traceability and data management, especially in large-scale sample storage or automated liquid handling systems. Each plate can be uniquely identified, minimizing handling errors and streamlining logistics in busy workflows.
Q: How much volume can I safely use in each well, and what are the plate format options?
A: It is recommended to use up to 80% of the total well volume for optimal sample safety. Format capacities available include 2.2 mL per well in 96-well plates, 10 mL per well in 24-well plates, and 220 L per well in 384-well plates, giving flexibility based on assay requirements.
Q: What applications are Eppendorf Deepwell Plates best suited for?
A: These plates are ideal for high-throughput screening, PCR and qPCR setup, protein crystallization, sample archiving, compound library management, and cell culture, providing reliable performance and storage across a broad spectrum of laboratory tasks.
