Product news

Porvair Sciences has expanded its range of high-quality, black microplates that minimize sample degradation by exposure to light, even over long storage periods.

Available in a choice of 48-, 96- and 384-well formats – Porvair Sciences black plates are precisely manufactured to applicable ANSI / SLAS dimensions ensuring complete compatibility with almost all readers and automated equipment.

Manufactured from polypropylene, the range of black microplates offers excellent heat and solvent resistant qualities. Using only ultra-pure grade polymer means that each black plate has near-zero leachates ensuring long-term sample integrity. Porvair Sciences black plates are supplied RNase / DNase free meaning they can be used to store even the most sensitive biological samples.

To prevent evaporation, hydration of DMSO solutions and to completely eliminate light from samples - Porvair Sciences additionally offers a selection of Absorb Max light-blocking sealing films that may be applied to the top of the black plates. A split backing and edge cut-outs make positioning and applying the sealing film quick and simple.

The light-blocking and absorbing properties of Porvair Sciences black microplates, used in conjunction with Absorb Max sealing films (P/N 229520), provides a perfect combination for protecting light-sensitive assays or samples during storage.

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.

Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Assay DevelopmentThe process of proving an assay to be sensitive with respect to the target is known as assay development. The assay should be able to characterize novel compounds and measure the potency of these compounds against a validated biological target.Microplate SealerDMSO
