Silicone Cap Mats for Septa

Silicone cap mats are flat, mat-like closures that cover multiple sample wells or vials simultaneously. They are often paired with septa to enhance sealing, prevent evaporation, and protect samples from contamination.

Benefits

• Evaporation Control: Reduces sample loss due to evaporation, even with volatile solvents.
• Contamination Prevention: Protects samples from airborne contaminants.
• Ease of Use: Compatible with both manual and automated systems.
• Cost-Effective: Reusable in some cases, depending on the material and application.

Applications

• Chromatography: Used in gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) for maintaining sample purity and reducing evaporation during analysis.
• Sample Storage: Protects samples from contamination and evaporation in long-term storage conditions.
• High-throughput Screening: Essential in automated labs where large numbers of samples are processed simultaneously.
• Biological and Chemical Research: Used in experiments where preventing contamination or evaporation is critical, such as PCR or cell culture studies.
