Axygen AxyMats AM-2ML-RD silicone sealing mat for 1.1ml deep well

Description

Product Overview

The Axygen AxyMats AM-2ML-RD is a high‑quality silicone sealing mat engineered specifically for 96‑well 1.1 ml deep well plates. Constructed from medical‑grade silicone, the mat offers excellent chemical resistance, temperature stability, and a flexible yet durable surface that conforms perfectly to the plate’s wells. Each mat measures 8.9 × 7.3 × 6 inches and weighs approximately 2.2 pounds, making it easy to handle while providing a robust seal that prevents liquid loss and cross‑contamination. The natural‑colored, non‑sterile design is suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications, from enzyme assays to long‑term sample storage. The mat’s 96 round wells are precisely aligned with the plate’s geometry, ensuring a snug fit that eliminates gaps and reduces the risk of evaporation during prolonged incubations. With a case of 50 mats, laboratories can maintain a consistent inventory, supporting high‑throughput workflows without the need for frequent reordering.

Usage

This sealing mat excels in environments where sample integrity is paramount. It is ideal for biochemical assays, cell culture plates, PCR preparation, and any protocol that requires a secure seal to maintain humidity and prevent contamination. Researchers can place the mat directly onto the plate after adding reagents, then incubate or store the plate at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen conditions without concern for leakage. The mat’s silicone composition tolerates a broad temperature range, from -20 °C to 200 °C, allowing it to be used in both cold storage and heat‑based protocols. Its flexibility enables easy removal after use, and the mat can be cleaned with standard laboratory detergents for reuse, extending its service life and reducing waste. The product is particularly valuable in high‑throughput screening facilities where dozens of plates are processed daily, as the consistent seal improves reproducibility and data reliability.

FAQ

Can the mat be autoclaved for sterilization?

The mat is non‑sterile by default, but it can withstand autoclave cycles if sterilization is required for a specific protocol. However, repeated autoclaving may affect flexibility over time.

Is the silicone material compatible with organic solvents?

Yes, the medical‑grade silicone used in the mat is resistant to most common organic solvents, making it suitable for a variety of assay conditions.

How many times can the mat be reused?

When cleaned properly with mild detergents and rinsed thoroughly, the mat can be reused dozens of times without loss of sealing performance.

What temperature range can the mat tolerate?

The mat is stable from -20 °C up to 200 °C, allowing use in both cold storage and high‑temperature applications.

Does the mat interfere with optical measurements?

The silicone material is optically clear and does not interfere with standard plate reader measurements, ensuring accurate data collection.
