Well Plates and Trays
Dionex recommends using well plates in the AS if you have limited
amounts of sample or if you require more than 100 sample positions.
Follow these guidelines when using well plates:
• 2 mL deep-well plates are suitable for ion chromatography (IC)
applications, where concentration of ions is above 1 ppm.
• 0.5 mL and 0.45 mL micro-well plates are not recommended for IC
applications.
• Where concentration of ions is below 1 ppm, Dionex recommends
using 10 mL PolyVials (P/N 055058, package of 100).
The following well plate tray packages are available:
Additional well plates and covers can be ordered separately. See
Appendix F
for reordering information.
Well Plate Tray Notes
• All well plate trays can be used with the sample temperature control
option.
• Each well plate tray also holds ten, 1.5 mL vials.
• The micro-well plate tray can hold either type of micro-well plate (V-
shaped wells or U-shaped wells).
Dionex does not recommend using the 10 mL plastic tray with the
sample temperature control option because the plastic tray is
inefficient at heating and cooling the vials. In addition, the tray is not
designed for temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) and may deform at
temperatures above 40
°C.
