Thermo Scientific Microplate 96 Well 400 ul Polystyrene 50 Plates

Description

Thermo Scientific Microtiter 96-Well Microplate – 400 µL, Clear Polystyrene, Round U-Bottom, Non-Sterile, Non-Treated (MPN: 2205)

The Thermo Scientific Microtiter™ 2205 (also cataloged as 14-245-71) is an industry-standard, high-capacity 96-well microplate precision-molded for routine sample screening, serial dilutions, reagent transfer, and general clinical chemistry applications. Fabricated from premium, ultra-clear virgin polystyrene, this assay plate features an 8 × 12 well configuration with an expanded max volume capacity of 400 µL per well. The clear polystyrene construction ensures exceptional optical clarity for transmission-based colorimetric readings, while the highly polished, seamless round U-bottom geometry optimizes mixing fluid dynamics, particle resuspension, and automated sample washing protocols.

Technical Performance and Design

• Expanded 400 µL Well Architecture: Features a deeper well structure compared to traditional 96-well microwells, pushing the total metric ceiling to 400 µL. This maximizes working volume safety thresholds and handles highly variable multi-reagent additions without over-spill hazards.

• Optimized Round U-Bottom Geometry: The completely rounded, smooth U-well bottom eliminates sharp micro-seams, corners, or internal edge ridges. This profile maximizes pellet-washing fluid efficiency, lowers dead volume, and serves as the baseline for high-accuracy agglutination or precipitation testing.

• Pristine Non-Treated Surface Chemistry: Retains a naturally hydrophobic, non-treated plastic matrix. This ensures minimal non-specific protein or biomolecule adhesion, making it ideal for routine solution aliquoting, compound storage, and colorimetric fluid dynamics.

• Reinforced Stacking Ribs: Outfitted with integrated structural supporting ribs under the outer rim alignment. This engineering allows for secure, anti-slip mechanical stacking inside incubators or storage hubs and bolsters structural resistance under high-speed centrifugation forces.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Clinical Agglutination & Blood Typing: The gold standard framework for routine hemagglutination assays, complement fixation tests, and blood grouping screens where visual precipitate rings require distortion-free bottom observation.

• High-Throughput Serial Dilutions: Extensively utilized inside screening cores as routine assay mother-plates or distribution vessels for dispensing working buffers and compounding lines across multiple microplates.

• Colorimetric Data Acquisition: The high clear optical clarity of the virgin polystyrene matrix supports clean transmission metrics when using standard top- or bottom-read microplate absorbance spectrometers.

• Robotic Automation Footprint: Meticulously manufactured to match standard ANSI/SLAS physical dimensions, guaranteeing smooth, error-free physical handoffs with automated liquid handlers, robotic gripper claws, and rapid stacker tracks.
