Thermo Scientific Storage Microplate Mat Total of 5 Plate Mats

Thermo Scientific 276002 96-Well Storage Plate Cap Mat (Pre-Slit, Sterile)

The Thermo Scientific 276002 is a high-performance sealing mat designed for the secure closure of 96-well storage plates and deep-well blocks. Manufactured from medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), these mats provide an airtight, friction-fit seal that protects samples from evaporation, cross-contamination, and environmental degradation. Featuring a pre-slit design, these mats allow for easy penetration by automated liquid handling probes and manual pipettes without compromising the seal's integrity upon withdrawal. These mats are an essential component for high-throughput screening, compound storage, and genomic sample preservation.

Technical Performance and Design

• Pre-Slit for Automation: The "Pre-Slit" feature allows pipette tips and robotic probes to pass through the mat with minimal resistance, ensuring accurate aspiration while preventing vacuum formation during high-speed automated runs.

• Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Construction: Offers excellent chemical resistance to common laboratory solvents, including DMSO, and maintains a flexible, high-integrity seal across a wide temperature range.

• Compression Fit Sealing: Each cap is engineered to seat deeply into the well of the storage plate, providing a multi-surface friction seal that prevents sample "wicking" or well-to-well contamination.

• Low Extraction Profile: Manufactured in a cleanroom environment to ensure the material does not leach contaminants into sensitive biological samples or pharmaceutical compounds.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Long-Term Cold Storage: The resilient TPE material remains flexible even at ultra-low temperatures (-80°C), preventing the seal from becoming brittle or failing during cryo-storage.

• Compound Library Management: Highly resistant to DMSO and other aggressive solvents used in drug discovery and high-throughput screening (HTS).

• Reduced Plastic Waste: Unlike adhesive films, these TPE mats are durable and autoclavable, allowing for repeated use in non-critical applications where cross-contamination is managed.

• Aseptic Workflow: Supplied sterile and individually wrapped, ensuring they are ready for use in pharmaceutical production or clinical research environments without further processing.
