Product news

Deep well polypropylene microplates from Porvair Sciences are shown in a new applications report to contain almost no significant levels of leachable or extractable compounds which might affect the integrity of stored samples.

The report shows the result of GC/MS analysis carried out by Porvair Sciences on a wide range of different manufacturers’ polypropylene deep well plates to establish levels of extractable or leachable contaminants in each of them. While the Porvair plates showed no significant contaminants many of the deep well plates from alternative sources showed contaminating peaks from chemicals used in the polypropylene to assist the injection moulding process.

Manufactured under class 10,000 conditions from ultra-pure grade polypropylene, Porvair deep well plates contain no contaminants that may leach out and affect stored samples or cell growth. For sensitive biological applications - Porvair offers a selection of deep well plates that are available certified as RNase / DNase free. Available in a choice of formats, volumes and well shapes - Porvair deep well plates are precisely manufactured to SBS/ANSI dimensions ensuring complete compatibility with microplate washers and automated equipment.

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.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
