Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are BRAND deep-well plates autoclavable?
Polypropylene (PP) plates, such as those from BRAND and Ritter, generally offer high thermal resistance; however, always verify specific product codes for autoclaving compatibility and temperature limits.
2. What is the benefit of using Thermo Nunc elastomer closure mats?
Elastomer mats provide a secure, reusable seal that is often pierceable, allowing for sample access via automated needles while maintaining a barrier against contamination.
3. Do these plates fit standard centrifuge rotors?
Many deep-well plates are designed with a standardized footprint for compatibility with microplate rotors; check the specific dimensions of the 22 mL BRAND plates for high-speed centrifugation requirements.
4. Can these plates be used for cryogenic storage?
Polypropylene deep-well plates are frequently used for low-temperature storage; ensure the sealing method (mats or films) is rated for the specific sub-zero temperatures required.
