Deep well plates are commonly used laboratory consumables. They are often used for DNA testing, high-throughput reactions, storing and transferring samples, and antibody titer testing. In recent years, due to the increased demand for nucleic acid testing brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, deep well plates have become well-known as one of the main consumables for nucleic acid testing.
The reason they are called "deep" well plates is primarily because they are made by increasing the depth of the wells while maintaining the length and width in accordance with SBS international standards, based on the dimensions of 96- and 384-well plates. The purpose is to increase the volume of each well to accommodate other laboratory operations.
Deep well plates are typically made from the polymer material polypropylene (PP), which gives them good chemical compatibility and allows them to be used for storing most polar organic solutions, acidic and alkaline solutions, and other laboratory liquids.
Deep well PCR plates can replace conventional 1.5ML centrifuge tubes for storing samples, offering organized arrangement, space savings, and large storage capacity. They can withstand -80℃ freezers and are therefore also known as storage plates.
They can be used in conjunction with multichannel pipettes, high-throughput automated liquid handling instruments, and software to achieve high-throughput operations on biological samples, such as protein precipitation, liquid extraction, and nucleic acid extraction, significantly improving sample processing efficiency.
They are compatible with various automated equipment and can be directly placed in the sample compartment of automated devices for sample injection. Compared to traditional sample injection methods, they not only increase the number of samples that can be placed in the sample compartment but also allow for samples processed on 96-well plates to be directly injected, eliminating the need for repetitive sample transferring, arranging, and capping tasks.
