Why choose SureSTART?
- Proven reliability: Every product is manufactured and certified to meet physical specifications—no weak links in your workflow.
- Clear selection: Three performance levels help you balance sensitivity, robustness, and cost, now visually marked with one, two, or three waves on the vial.
- Universal compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with all major GC, HPLC/UHPLC, and MS autosamplers across all vendors.
- Certified cleanliness: Products are manufactured using the purest glass and plastics with low extractables and leachables, including GOLD-grade and silanized glass.
- Maximum sample integrity: Minimize analyte loss and background peaks with precision-engineered sealing, surface chemistry, and material composition.
- Bulk savings & simplified inventory: Available in multiple pack sizes, performance levels, and formats to support your lab’s needs and budget.
The Three Performance Levels
- Level 1 – Everyday analysis: For general-purpose GC/HPLC detection (e.g. UV/Vis, FID, RI). These chromatography-approved products are ideal for routine analyses with cost-efficiency in mind.
- Level 2 – High-throughput analysis: Designed for regulated labs requiring robust and reproducible data, especially when using MS detectors for routine quantification.
- Level 3 – High performance: For the most sensitive and selective analyses near the method detection limit. Packed in cleanroom environments and made with ultra-pure materials for maximum sample security and MS compatibility.
Thermo Scientific SureSTART Vials and Well Plates Collection: Three performance levels help you balance sensitivity, robustness, and cost, now visually marked with one, two, or three waves on the vial.
SureSTART Certified Vial and Cap Kits
- Specification Certified: Routine analyses – Certified for physical specifications; no individual certificate.
- LC/GC Certified: Chromatography-grade – Tested for 15 physical parameters with LC-UV & GC-FID; certificate included.
- MSCERT: For LC-MS/GC-MS – Certified low-adsorption kits tested with MS; includes SureStop™ vials with AVCS™ caps.
- MSCERT+: For trace-level MS or DIA – Pre-cleaned, tested with LC-MS/GC-MS, and sold only as kits to ensure purity.
- Application Certified: Pre-matched kits for specific instruments or validated applications.
Thermo Scientific SureSTART Vials and Well Plates Collection: There are several factors to consider when choosing a vial or well plate for your application. The table below will help guide you through this process to determine what type of product/performance level is most suitable for your application requirements.
SureSTART Well Plates and Mats
Thermo Scientific™ WebSeal™ well plates are ideal for laboratories seeking to increase autosampler capacity, reduce solvent usage, and streamline high-throughput workflows. Available in 96- and 384-well formats, they offer a certified alternative to traditional vials and are fully compatible with automated SPE/SLE platforms.
- Space-saving efficiency: Replace vials with well plates to increase sample capacity up to 8× and reduce storage footprint.
- Flexible performance levels:
- Level 1: Standard plates for routine, non-regulated use (GC-tested).
- Level 2: Low-bleed plates and high-performance mats, validated for LC-MS/GC-MS.
- Level 3: Premium WebSeal Plate+ with glass-coated plastic wells—ideal for trace analytes and protein adsorption control.
- Solvent stability and clean sample contact: WebSeal Plate+ uses nanolayered silicon dioxide for minimal extractables and ultra-low adsorption.
- Compatible sealing options:
- Silicone mats: For long-term storage and consistent results.
- Pre-slit mats: For autosampler injection without evaporation or contamination.
- Adhesive seals: For single-use workflows and re-sealing options with cavity protection.
Whether you work with polar solvents, proteins, or trace-level analyses, SureSTART well plates and sealing accessories help you optimize throughput, precision, and data confidence across all chromatography workflows.
