MicroSolv’s new Universal-2 Dimensional (U-2D) 96 Well Plate system offers many benefits compared to current glass-lined or plastic well plates for sample preparation or chromatography.

The novel design enables the rack containing precision glass inserts to be removed from the plastic base, for checking individual inserts for bubbles or missed fills, or for transfer to a thermal bath for controlled heating or cooling. Additionally individual glass inserts can be removed and placed into 9mm screw top autosampler vials for storage or for transfer to another instrument platform. This enables small volume samples to be stored with minimal loss of sample.

With a 40% larger opening, the R.A.M.™ vial is available in polypropylene, clear polypropylene and TPX (polymethylpentene) plastic materials depending on the analyses being performed.

Micronic has expanded its range of high quality 4.00ml sample storage tubes to now include non-coded, alphanumeric and 2D data matrix coded formats.
