96-Well Plate and sealing film

Chrom Tech provides a comprehensive selection of 96-well plates, glass inserts, and workflow accessories engineered for high-throughput chromatography and mass spectrometry applications. All plates follow the standard 8×12 footprint, ensuring compatibility with autosamplers, robotic handlers, and automated LC/MS systems.

Select from deep-well polypropylene plates for high-volume processing, glass-insert plates for maximum recovery, or ELISA and PCR formats for bioanalytical screening. Pair with sealing films, foils, cap mats, and plate covers to prevent contamination and minimize evaporation during sample prep and analysis.

For advanced automation, Chrom Tech also supplies Porvair heat sealers, evaporators, and Cerex positive-pressure manifolds to support consistent, high-efficiency sample preparation. Our 96-well reservoir troughs and Greiner Bio-One plates expand compatibility across leading laboratory instrumentation.

Enhance high-throughput workflows with Chrom Tech’s complete range of well-plate solutions—ideal for LC/MS sample prep, screening assays, and automated liquid handling. For assistance selecting the right system, contact our technical team at Chrom Tech.

Key Definitions ▸
SBS/ANSI Footprint
A standardized 8×12 microplate format ensuring compatibility across LC/MS autosamplers and robotic systems.
Well Volume
The maximum capacity of each well, typically ranging from 300 µL to 2 mL in 96-well plates.
Deep-Well Plate
A deeper 96-well plate (1–2 mL per well) used for sample prep and high-throughput workflows.
Glass Inserts
Inert glass wells designed for LC/MS workflows to minimize adsorption and carryover.
Heat-Sealing Foil
A thermally applied sealing film providing an evaporation-resistant barrier for long-term storage.
Frequently Asked Questions ▸
Are Chrom Tech 96-well plates compatible with standard autosamplers?
Yes. All Chrom Tech 96-well plates follow the SBS/ANSI 8×12 format and are compatible with most LC/MS autosamplers and robotic platforms.
Which sealing method is best for preventing evaporation?
For the best seal integrity, use heat-sealing foils or cap mats. Pressure seals and adhesive films are cost-effective alternatives for short-term storage.
Do you offer glass inserts for LC/MS sample preparation?
Yes. Chrom Tech’s patented 96-well glass insert systems provide inert, precision-formed wells that minimize adsorption and carryover in MS workflows.
