96 Well Translucent Silicone Capmat

1) Description

96 Well Blue EVA Capmat are suitable for situations where frequent sampling using an autosampler is required, while 96 Well Translucent Silicone Capmats may be more suitable for storage or those applications where puncture sampling is not required or not possible. Which plate to choose depends on the specific experimental requirements, the chemical nature of the sample, the sealing properties required, and compatibility with automated equipment.

2)Application

• High-throughput chromatography

• High-throughput sequencin

• Molecular screening

• Pharmaceuticals

• Chemical reagent purification

• Sample preparation/storage

3) Features
▶ Long-term Storage:

To reduce sample evaporation and protect samples from airborne contaminants, good sealing is required when storing samples for long periods of time.

▶ Low-temperature Storage:

Silicone has good low-temperature properties and will not harden or crack under refrigerator or freezing conditions. It is suitable for cryogenic storage of biological samples, such as cells, DNA or protein solutions.

▶ Cross-contamination Protection:

When conducting sensitive experiments, it is very important to prevent cross-contamination between samples, especially when performing experiments such as microanalysis or PCR.

▶ Transport and Carrying:

When samples need to be transferred from one laboratory to another or need to be mailed, the full silicone lid can provide better sealing and ensure the safety of the sample during transportation.

4) 96 Well Blue EVA Capmat VS 96 Well Translucent Silicone Capmat

• 96 Well Blue EVA Capmat:

Blue EVA Capmat are commonly used in gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (HPLC) autosamplers because they can be penetrated by needles and self-sealing after penetration.
This material combination provides excellent chemical stability and solvent resistance, making it ideal for applications where samples need to be protected from gas exchange or evaporation.
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) has a certain degree of elasticity and can provide good sealing when combined with PTFE/Silicone septa.

• 96 Well Translucent Silicone Capmat:

Translucent Silicone Capmat may not have puncture and self-sealing properties, but the Silicone material itself has good chemical stability and temperature resistance.
This type of plate may be used in applications that do not require frequent sample retrieval, or where samples are not processed through an autosampler.
It may also be used for low-temperature storage, or when it is necessary to prevent sample cross-contamination without puncture sampling.
