AHN myPlate® Deep Well Microplates

AHN myPlate® Deep Well Microplates

AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates are an exciting new addition to the AHN myPlate® range of life science laboratory consumables. These new 96 deep well plates complement AHN myPlate® PCR plates by providing a larger sample handling capacity for PCR preparation. Additionally, these new 96 deep well plates unlock a whole new range of possibilities. In this article, we will provide a high-level overview of the various features of the new myPlate® 96 deep well plates with a special emphasis on how the product features may apply to your day-to-day work in the laboratory.

High capacity Deep Well Plates

The new AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates were designed from the ground up to offer a high liquid handling capacity for most of your most demanding applications. These 96 deep well plates are currently offered in 1.2 mL and 2.2 mL variants, which are perfect for most life science processes that require large sample volumes. The 1.2 mL AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates have a total storage capacity of 115.2 mL while the 2.2 mL variants have a maximum capacity of 211.2 mL. The high capacity of AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates opens up the possibility of automating processes that would normally require individual AHN myTube® microcentrifuge tubes. To ensure that AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates were automation-ready, we also made some design choices that we will describe below.

ANSI/SLAS compliant 96 Deep Well Plates

To ensure universal compatibility with robotic liquid handling platforms that comply with industry standards, AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates conform to requisite standards. Our manufacturing team, working within the specifications for microplates as defined by the American National Standards Institute and the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS), ensured the dimensions of AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates are within spec. This means that AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates can be safely used on robotic platforms such as the Beckman Biomek® liquid handling robots and the Hamilton Microlab® STAR among others. By having AHN myPlate® 96 deep well plates compliant with industry standards we increased their compatibility across platforms and protocols. In addition to standardizing the product dimensions we also provide flexibility in capacity and design as described below.
