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.
