Filter Plates
High Throughput 96-Well Filter Plates
Customize to your specifications:
- Select your preferred filter membrane
- Choose desired pore size for optimal flow and retention
- Available in multiple plate formats
- Automation-friendly design for seamless integration
- Engineered to handle samples up to 1 mL
- Standard SBS footprint ensures full compatibility with automated workstations and microplate systems
- Skirted edges provide stable robotic handling equivalent to conventional microtitration plates
Designed for sensitive analytical workflows such as LC-MS and semi-automated high-throughput assays, Chrom Tech’s filter plates feature low extractable, low-binding membranes to ensure clean sample preparation and reliable quantification. Their wide chemical compatibility allows use with nearly any sample composition, from aqueous to organic.
Molecular Weight Cut-Off (MWCO) 96-Well Filter Plates
Common MWCO Applications:
MWCO filter plates are designed for molecular separation and concentration applications including:
- Separating large molecules from small molecules
- Removing unincorporated label after protein modification reactions
- Concentrating protein peaks after gel-permeation chromatography
- Protein enrichment from tissue culture media, antisera, or antibodies
- Desalting and buffer exchange following ion-exchange or affinity chromatography
For labs not currently using 96-well plate formats, Chrom Tech offers alternative filtration tools including syringe filters and filter vials.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are 96-well filter plates used for?
96-well filter plates allow rapid, parallel filtration of multiple samples for high-throughput workflows such as protein purification, concentration, and desalting.
Can these filter plates be used with automated liquid handlers?
Yes. The SBS-compliant footprint and skirted plate design make them fully compatible with robotic and automated liquid handling systems.
Are Chrom Tech filter plates sterile?
Filter plates are non-sterile by default but are made from DNase/RNase- and protease-free certified plastics. They can be autoclaved for sterile applications.
Chrom Tech Filter Plates/Tubes are made from DNase/RNase & Protease Free Certified Plastics.
Although these are not sterile, you could autoclave, we recommend: 121°C (250°F) at 15 psi for 15 minutes.
