Why glass coatedHow the coating works, every format compared, and the study that used our plates.

Glass coated plates pair a polypropylene or polystyrene microplate with a thin silicon dioxide (glass) coating in every well. Hydrophobic and lipophilic compounds meet a glass surface, so they stay in solution instead of binding to the plastic, while the plate keeps a standard SBS/ANSI footprint.

On the 96 deep well plates the catalog specifies a 200 nm coating, a working range of -80 °C to +80 °C, low extractables and leachables, and a reduced oxygen transmission rate. The plates replace glass vial inserts in compound storage, DMPK and bioanalysis, with no glass to break.

Formats cover 96 square well (1 mL, 2 mL and 2.2 mL deep well, 1.1 mL short, all pyramid bottom), 96 round deep well (1.6 mL round bottom, 2.0 mL conical), 96 round well at 1.1 mL and half height at 500 µL, and 384 square well at 120 µL flat bottom or 300 µL pyramid-bottom deep well.

Searching for a glass coated deep well plate for hydrophobic compound storage, or a 384 well glass coated plate for compound management? Compare well shape, bottom and volume in the table below. If the format you need is not listed, Arctic White can glass-coat other plates on request.

Every plate can be ordered direct from Arctic White by quote. For how the coating works and the published study that used our plates, see the glass coated plates overview.

Frequently asked questions

What is the glass coating made of?
A layer of silicon dioxide (glass) on a polypropylene or polystyrene base plate. On the 96 deep well plates the coating is specified at 200 nm.

What temperatures can the plates take?
The 96 deep well and half-height plates are rated from -80 °C to +80 °C. Check each product page for its own rating.

Why use a glass coated plate instead of glass vial inserts?
The coating gives each well a glass contact surface, which removes the need for limited-volume glass inserts in a plastic plate, with no glass to break.

Can you glass-coat a plate that is not listed?
Yes. Arctic White can glass-coat other plates on request. Ask for a quote with the plate you use.
