96‑well plates and sealing mats used in high‑throughput HPLC and LC‑MS workflows for sample containment, evaporation control, and automated handling. This category includes plates and sealing solutions designed for compatibility with autosamplers, robotic systems, and analytical preparation workflows.
These products are typically selected by laboratories performing parallel sample preparation, screening, or batch processing, where consistent geometry, low extractables, and reliable sealing are required.
Plate Quality & Manufacturing Standards
All MICROSOLV™ plastic 96‑well plates in this category are manufactured and tested to ensure suitability for analytical laboratory use, including:
Low extractables performance
Conformance to ANSI/SLAS (formerly ANSI‑SBS) standards, including footprint
Tight dimensional tolerances for automated handling
Alphanumeric well grids for sample identification
Autoclavable materials
Manufactured in an RNase‑ and DNase‑free environment
These characteristics support consistent performance in regulated and research laboratory environments.
Available Plate Configurations
Plates are available in multiple formats to support different sample volumes and workflows, including:
Plates with glass inserts
Deep‑well plastic plates
Medium‑well plastic plates
Shallow‑well plastic plates
Well geometry options include:
Round or square wells
U‑bottom, V‑bottom, or flat‑bottom designs
Selection should be based on sample volume, mixing requirements, and downstream analytical compatibility.
Sealing Mats & Evaporation Control
Sealing mats are used to limit evaporation, contamination, and sample loss during handling or storage. Available sealing options include:
Silicone sealing mats
Silicone/PTFE composite mats
EVA sealing mats
Material selection depends on solvent exposure, temperature conditions, and sealing requirements.
Typical Applications & Use Cases
96‑well plates and sealing mats in this category are commonly used for:
High‑throughput HPLC and LC‑MS sample preparation
Parallel analytical workflows
Screening and method development
Laboratory automation and robotic handling
Temporary storage and transport of prepared samples
