Microtiter Plate

I want to cultivate Escherichia coli in a microtitre plate. Which conditions should I choose?

You should use 96-deepwell plates equipped with air-permeable sealing tape as a sterile barrier. The filling volume should not be greater than 500µL. Shake the plates with an orbital speed of 300 rpm and a shaking diameter of 50 mm. With smaller shaking diameters you should increase the shaking speed.


For further information consider the following publication:
