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.
