96-Well Plate U-Bottom Shape

 

Bottom Shapes of 96-Well Plates (U-bottom shape)

 

 

 

 

Round-Shaped Well Bottom

The 96-well format U-bottom shape has a round-shaped well bottom. Wells with the U-bottom shape have no edges making it well suited for the stirring and washing of samples. The U-bottom shape is commonly used for agglutination ( a reaction in which particles suspended in a liquid collect into clumps and which occurs especially as serological response to a specific antibody¹) and other assays requiring these types of tasks. This particular well bottom shape can be pipetted easily, cleanly and is designed for high sample recovery.

Round bottom wells are useful when cell-cell interactions are important, as they allow a loose cell pellet to form at the bottom of the well.
