A deep well plate is a type of laboratory consumable that is commonly used in high-throughput screening and sample preparation applications. It is a multi-well plate that has a greater depth than a standard microplate, typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 millimeters. This deeper well design allows for a larger sample volume and facilitates the use of automated liquid handling equipment.
Deep well plates are usually made of high-quality materials such as polypropylene or polystyrene, which are chemically resistant and durable. They are typically available in formats ranging from 24 to 384 wells, with each well having a capacity of 0.5 to 2 milliliters. The wells are arranged in a rectangular grid pattern to facilitate the use of robotic pipetting systems and to ensure compatibility with laboratory equipment.
Deep well plates are commonly used in a variety of applications, including cell culture, protein expression, high-throughput screening, and DNA extraction. They are often used for the preparation of samples for DNA sequencing, PCR, and other molecular biology applications. The large well volume and deep well design make them ideal for storing and processing large volumes of samples, which is important in high-throughput applications.
