Product news

Porvair Sciences range of 384-well plates are produced in class 10,000 cleanroom conditions from superior grade, ultra-clean polypropylene to strict quality control guidelines.

Available both sterile and non-sterile, Porvair 384-well plates provide a perfect solution for sample storage and assay set-up, allowing dilutions and aliquots to be simply handled, stored, or transported. Manufactured extra flat to ensure effective sealing, Porvair 384-well plates maintain your sample integrity over extended periods down to –80ºC. Manufactured to conform to ANSI/SLAS plate dimensions all Porvair 384-well plates are fully compatible with automated liquid handling systems.

Available in two sizes (58µl and 300µl per well working volume) the pyramidal well bottom design of the 384-well plates enables easy and efficient removal of your liquid samples. Raised rims around each well minimize the risk of well-to-well cross-contamination.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Contamination PreventionContamination prevention aims to control and minimize the risk of contamination during experiments. Biological safety cabinets and sterilization equipment are examples of technologies used to prevent contamination.Sample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Plate ProcessingHigh ThroughputHigh throughput experiments allow the simultaneous processing of several samples. This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.Microplate SealerLiquid HandlingLiquid handling involves the precise transfer, mixing, and dispensing of liquids in laboratory settings. It is essential for accurate and consistent results in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research. Automated liquid handling systems improve efficiency and reduce human error in sample preparation and analysis.
