High throughput screening made even more efficient
One answer to the drug discovery industry's need for faster sample processing and better sample containment is Chromacol's range of WebSeal products. The WebSeal silicone/PTFE sealing mat can seal 96 or 384 wells in less than five seconds using the standard 96 and 384 microtitre plate footprint adopted by many autosampler manufacturers. The silicone/PTFE material reseals when the sample probe or needle has been withdrawn. DMSO-resistant versions of these mats are also available.
Where a completely inert sample chamber is required, Chromacol has a number of glass inserts to fit the wells of the titre plate; in combination with the inert PTFE-coated silicone, these generate a chamber that is inert to most samples and solvents.
