Product news

Porvair Sciences Ltd. (www.porvair-sciences.com) offers a range of specialist microplate-based systems that deliver significant productivity benefits in Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Combinatorial Chemistry applications.

The Microlute™ has become the benchmark for high throughput sample preparation across a range of applications. The innovative design of the Microlute™ offers all the advantages of automated and high throughput SPE or Combinatorial Chemistry sample preparation in a convenient microplate format capable of rapidly processing 96 samples in one go repeatedly and precisely. For demanding LC/MS/MS bioanalysis assays the Microlute™ is used by many leading life science laboratories worldwide to provide high recoveries across a wide analyte solubility and concentration range.

For drug development, food and environmental laboratories currently using SPE cartridges to process large volumes of sample the MaxiLute™ is a 48-well Solid Phase Extraction sample preparation microplate system able to process up to 200 ml of sample in one go repeatedly & precisely. Based upon a standard microplate format the MaxiLute is fully compatible with automated liquid handling and robotic devices providing considerable productivity benefits. Its unique design eliminates the mess associated with traditional manual SPE cartridge methods.

Porvair Sciences Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porvair plc.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Combinatorial ChemistryCombinatorial chemistry, also known as combichem, is a technique used in drug discovery to create libraries of structurally related compounds. A library is generated by synthesis with a chemical reactor system or by computer-based modeling of compound combinations. When undertaking combinatorial chemistry consider reagents, buffers, resins and standards.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
