MICROWELL PLATE
First Claim
1. A microwell plate comprising:
- a skirt and frame portion having a top surface and a bottom surface, and having a plurality of holes;
a well and deck portion, comprising a plurality of wells integrated with a planar deck;
wherein the well and deck portion is overmolded or adhered onto the skirt and frame portion such that the plurality of wells extends through the plurality of holes in the top surface of the skirt and frame portion;
wherein the well and deck portion is formed from a thermoplastic composition comprising a poly(aliphatic ester)-polycarbonate comprising soft block ester units, derived from monomers comprising an alpha, omega C6-20 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof, a dihydroxyaromatic compound, and a carbonate source.

21. A method of constructing a microwell plate, comprising:
-
molding an insert of a first material, wherein the insert comprises a plurality of holes formed in a top surface of the insert; positioning the insert to receive a second material; applying the second material to the insert; and molding an over-mold of the second material, wherein the over-mold is a planar deck and a plurality of wells integrally formed with the top surface of the insert and the plurality of holes to produce a unitary plate; wherein the well and deck portion is formed from a thermoplastic composition comprising a poly(aliphatic ester)-polycarbonate comprising soft block ester units, derived from monomers comprising an alpha, omega C6-20 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof, a dihydroxyaromatic compound, and a carbonate source.

22. A method of constructing a microwell plate, comprising:
-
forming a skirt and frame portion of a first material, wherein the skirt and frame portion includes a plurality of holes formed in a top surface of the skirt and frame portion; forming a well and deck portion of a second material, wherein the well and deck portion includes a plurality of wells formed in a top planar deck of the well and deck portion and sized for insertion into the plurality of holes of the skirt and frame portion; joining the well and deck portion to the skirt and frame portion such that the plurality of wells are disposed in the plurality of holes; wherein the second material is a thermoplastic composition comprising a poly(aliphatic ester)-polycarbonate comprising soft block ester units, derived from monomers comprising an alpha, omega C6-20 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof, a dihydroxyaromatic compound, and a carbonate source.
