SSP’s Cap Mats: Precision and Protection for Chromatography Applications

cap mats

When it comes to chromatography and other laboratory testing, the integrity of your samples is paramount. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) understands this need and offers 96 well cap mats that provide superior protection and performance. These cap mats are engineered to fit precisely over the wells of microplates, ensuring each sample is securely sealed and protected.

High-Quality Materials and Custom Options

SSP’s cap mats are crafted from a proprietary platinum-catalyzed, premium-grade, FDA compliant silicone elastomer. This material is known for its durability and resistance to contamination. For applications requiring analytically pure conditions, our Ultra Low Bleed mats are specifically formulated to minimize siloxane peaks, ensuring that your results are free from interference.

Cap Mats with Precision Fit and Versatility 

Our cap mats are available with either round or square plugs to suit different microplate designs. The 96 round cap mats come with two plug diameter options: 7 mm and 8 mm. The 7 mm plugs are ideal for plates holding samples over 1 ml, while the 8  mm plugs are suited for shallower plates with samples under 1 ml. This flexibility ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance for various laboratory needs.

Easy Access and Sample Integrity

To facilitate easy access to samples, SSP offers cap mats with cross slits. These slits allow pipettes or syringes to penetrate the mat effortlessly, ensuring convenient sample retrieval without compromising the seal. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your samples by preventing evaporation and contamination.

Customization to Meet Unique Needs

At SSP, we understand that some projects require bespoke solutions. That’s why we offer custom cap mat configurations, including unique designs and colors. Our in-house, on-site machine shop allows us to design, build, and maintain custom molds efficiently, reducing lead times and costs. Whether you need a specific color to differentiate between samples or a unique design for a specialized application, SSP can accommodate your requirements.
