Porvair Sciences, a specialist manufacturer of microplates & microplate instruments for life science research, has introduced a new range of low-profile deep well microplates - optimized for laboratory automation.

Flexibility, scalability and efficient use of storage space is essential to productive automation workflows. This new range of 96-well deep well microplates are designed to maximize storage space by offering a storage volume of 0.5ml / well in a reduced plate height of just 27mm.

This new low-profile design allows more plates to be stored or stacked in a given space. Combining an affordable price with uncompromising high quality, Porvair low-profile 0.5ml deep well plates are precisely manufactured to comply with ANSI/SLAS dimensions ensuring complete compatibility with all manual and automated sample handling systems, microplate readers and washers.

Available sterile or non-sterile, Porvair low-profile 96-well deep well plates are manufactured from RNase / DNase-free, low leachables polypropylene that undergoes extensive quality testing to ensure a product of the highest quality. Offering high chemical and temperature resistance (-196 °C to +121 °C) the design of these autoclavable low-profile plates includes a U-bottom to enable maximum liquid uptake, alphanumeric well coding for easy sample tracking and raised well rims to enable easy, high integrity sealing.
