High-throughput multiwell filtration
Multiwell filtration devices for high-throughput clarification, sample preparation, screening and automated laboratory workflows.
Plate format, media and processing method are configuration-dependent
Well formats
Filter plates place a membrane or depth medium at the base of each well so multiple samples can be processed in parallel. Depending on the plate design, liquid can be driven through the media by vacuum, positive pressure or centrifugation and collected in a compatible receiver plate.
Selection should consider well format, recommended loading volume, sample chemistry, binding, extractables, retention, hold-up, driving method, receiver geometry and automation interface. Media and pore or retention grades differ by plate format; not every value is available in every well volume.
The 24-well format supports larger laboratory samples while retaining the parallel-processing benefits of a multiwell device.
Parallel capacity 24 samples
The 96-well portfolio provides the broadest stated choice of well volumes, media and pore or depth-retention options.
Parallel capacity 96 samples
Dense 384-well layouts support low-volume, high-throughput screening where instrument and receiver compatibility are confirmed.
Parallel capacity 384 samples
Plate and process selection
Throughput depends on the complete plate workflow. Sample viscosity, particulate load, membrane binding, hold-up, pressure or centrifugal force, receiver geometry and robotic handling all influence recovery and processing time.
End-user applications
Select the plate and media around the sample matrix, required separation, downstream assay and available processing equipment.
High-throughput clarification before chromatography or instrumental analysis.
Preparation of biological samples, lysates, buffers and assay reagents.
Protein, nucleic-acid, bead and precipitate separation workflows.
Filtration of aqueous or solvent-containing samples using chemically compatible media.
Screening formulation, process or analytical conditions across multiple wells.
Manual, semi-automated and robotic sample-preparation operations.
Quotation guidance
A complete RFQ should connect plate format and media to the sample, required filtration result, operating method, receiver, automation and documentation package.
Specify 24-, 96- or 384-well format, manual or automated use and the receiver plate.
Provide sample chemistry, particulate load, per-well loading volume and total plate count.
Select membrane or depth medium, rating, binding profile and recovery target.
Identify vacuum, positive-pressure or centrifugation equipment and operating limits.
Confirm sterility, packaging, low-binding or low-extractables needs and documentation.
Confirm collection geometry, ANSI/SLAS footprint, robotic gripper access and instrument compatibility.
Configuration matrix
Offered combinations are plate-specific. Confirm recommended loading volume, membrane or depth-medium grade, sample compatibility, hold-up, receiver geometry, operating limits and automation fit for the selected configuration.
