96 Elution Plates for IsoPure 96 (AP1096-ELP, Case of 100)

The AP1096-ELP is the 96-well elution plate consumable for the Accuris AP1096 IsoPure 96 Automated Purification System — sold as case of 100 plates. The elution plate is the separate-plate elution-target consumable used in workflows that collect purified nucleic acid into a dedicated elution plate (rather than reusing one of the deep-well plate's elution wells). The standard 96-well-plate footprint with lower-volume well geometry is optimized for elution-volume recovery and downstream-workflow handoff (the eluate plate goes directly into PCR setup, sequencer-prep robotics, or other downstream automation).

Universe class-field flag: The 2026 universe price-list classifies AP1096-ELP as capital, but the physical product is a per-cycle consumable (case of 100 single-use plates). This continues the universe-class misclassification pattern tracked in fred_followup_queue.md FQ-011 (qMAX kit family had 9 SKUs with the same pattern). Internal-LLS data correction; not a Fred-supplier question.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Elution plate consumable — IsoPure 96 chassis only. Order this SKU when:

1. Separate-plate elution workflow — when the protocol elutes purified nucleic acid into a dedicated elution plate (rather than reusing the deep-well plate's elution well). This is common for downstream-workflow handoff to PCR setup, sequencer-prep robotics, or library-construction workflows where the elution plate goes directly into the downstream automation.
2. Lower-volume elution — when the workflow targets eluate volumes that fit better in the elution-plate well geometry than in the deep-well plate format.
3. Plate-format standardization — when the downstream automation expects a standard 96-well plate format for the eluate (the deep-well plate's larger well volume may not fit downstream automation expectations).
4. Workflow-recurring replenishment — when the workflow uses separate-plate elution as the standard protocol.

Skip this SKU when: the workflow elutes into a well of the AP1096-DWP deep-well plate (single-plate workflow — no separate elution plate needed). Confirm at workflow design which approach the protocol uses.

Single-Plate vs Separate-Plate Elution Workflow

Per-cycle cost note: Separate-plate elution adds the elution plate cost to per-cycle consumable spend. Confirm at workflow design whether the downstream automation handoff justifies the additional consumable line.

Design Architecture

Elution-step plate handoff. In separate-plate elution workflows, the IsoPure 96 transfers the magnetic-bead-purified nucleic acid into the AP1096-ELP elution plate during the final protocol step. The eluate plate is then removed from the chassis at cycle end and handed off to the downstream workflow (PCR setup, sequencer-prep robotics, library construction, etc.).

Lower-volume elution well geometry. The elution plate's well design is optimized for the elution volume range typical of nucleic-acid-extraction protocols (typically 50–200 µL final eluate volume vs the deep-well plate's larger volume range). This concentrates the eluate for downstream handoff.

Downstream automation compatibility. The standard 96-well-plate footprint supports most downstream lab-automation handoff scenarios (qPCR plate setup, NGS library prep, etc.) without requiring a plate-transfer step.

Application Profile

High-throughput sequencing core workflows — sequencing cores running daily IsoPure 96 batches with downstream automation handoff into NGS library prep workflows.

Clinical-research molecular-diagnostics workflows — diagnostic labs running batch patient-sample extractions where the eluate plate goes into qPCR setup automation.

Pharma / biotech screening prep — sample-prep workflows where the eluate plate format matches the downstream high-throughput screening platform's expectations.

Multi-step purification workflows — workflows where the elution plate is itself the input to a second purification or processing step (eluate plate → secondary processing automation).

Ordering & Configuration

Per-cycle separate-plate consumable. When used, one elution plate per IsoPure 96 cycle. Workflow design confirms whether separate-plate elution is the standard protocol or only used for specific protocols.

Pair with AP1096-DWP + AP1096-TC. Separate-plate elution workflows use all three consumables per cycle (deep-well plate + tip comb + elution plate). Confirm three-consumable inventories at order.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (AP1096 in inventory), workflow eluate-handoff design (single-plate vs separate-plate), per-cycle consumable budget, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Accuris standard consumable terms — confirm at quote.

Accuris IsoPure 96 plate-consumable family:

- AP1096-DWP — 96 deep-well plates, case of 50 (per-cycle sample vessel)

- AP1096-TC — Tip Comb, case of 50 (per-cycle bead-transfer comb)

- AP1096-ELP (this product) — 96-well elution plates, case of 100 (separate-plate elution workflows only)

The elution plate is workflow-optional; order only when the protocol uses separate-plate elution handoff.
