RAPID EPS™ is a solvent-resistant, pierceable adhesive plate seal designed for microplate workflows using organic solvents such as DMSO, acetonitrile, and methanol. Its solvent-resistant adhesive provides reliable sealing, while the embossed surface allows easy needle and pipette-tip penetration, helping reduce needle clogging or damage.

In-House Performance Testing
BioChromato has evaluated RAPID EPS™ under laboratory conditions for solvent resistance, cross-contamination prevention, and airtightness.
Organic Solvent Resistance
LC/MS testing with methanol, acetonitrile, and DMSO showed less adhesive-derived elution than the conventional seals tested.
View Test Details →Cross-Contamination Prevention
In a 96-well plate shaking test, no cross-contamination between adjacent wells was observed under the tested conditions.
View Test Details →Airtightness to Organic Solvents
Airtightness with acetonitrile and DMSO was evaluated at temperatures ranging from −80°C to 25°C.
