Porvair Sciences Manufacture Microplate Products Including Deep Well Polypropylene Microplates

Porvair Sciences manufacture many microplate products, including Deep Well Polypropylene Microplates as part of their storage collection on the Microplates website. Porvair Sciences provide microplate solutions for all applications, particularly their sample storage microplates.

The storage collection plate – the deep well polypropylene microplate is a sample storage plate used for sample storage in life science laboratories. An essential aspect of the manufacture of these plates to note is the selection of ‘clean raw materials for injection moulding.’ Another benefit of this sample storage plate is its suitability for storage because of the low-binding characteristics of the material – polypropylene. It can accommodate larger working volumes, and the proteins and DNA will not adhere to PP; therefore, it gives a complete sample recovery in the laboratory.

Although, according to Porvair Sciences, all grades of polypropylene are not the same. This is about the injection moulding grades of polypropylene which can have high concentrations of chemicals, therefore, aiding the moulding process. It helps with the production of plates in a much quicker way, and it also lowers costs. The only flaw that has been mentioned by the professionals about these particular moulding grades of polypropylene is that the sample may not be fully functional as it is stored for an extended period.

This can happen when compounds are stored as solutions in solvents such as methanol or DMSO because they can extract from the polypropylene base material. Fortunately, Porvair Sciences has published an analysis of its own and other manufacturer’s plates, with MS traces, this allows individuals to compare the good and bad.

You can also find online as part of the storage collection, the deep well microplate centrifuge and genogrinder accessories such as the centrifuge support plate. These silicone impact support plates are designed to fit into the skirt of the deep well plates. This then allows the plate to be used in a centrifuge without the risk of the plate distorting, cracking or breaking, causing the well to leak.

The 96-well square plates are also part of the deep well polypropylene storage collection which was created for the interchange of plates simpler in automated systems. The plates have the same geometry, and the only variable is the excellent depth. These plates are designed specifically for seed and leaf genomic studies.

The other plate is the 384-well, and Porvair Sciences has a selection of 384-well polypropylene plates to suit most applications. This is because all of them are made from ‘pre-tested polypropylene in Class 100000 cleanrooms.’

Then you have the high-volume deep well microplates which are available on the microplate’s website. On it, you will find a range of large volume plates that are suitable for each specific laboratory’s requirements as they ensure only the best quality microplates. Porvair allows large volumes of samples to be transported in recognised ANSI/SLAS format microplates, and this gives you greater automation.

Porvair Sciences microplates supply many high-volume microplates, and the deep well polypropylene microplates, in particular, are the best sample storage microplates. Porvair Sciences only choose clean, raw materials in the manufacture of these plates, confirming how dedicated and thorough the team are at Porvair Sciences.

Porvair Sciences Develop a Range of Units for Microplate Sealing

Porvair Sciences has developed a range of units to meet the needs of ‘low, medium and high throughput laboratories for microplate sealing’. Fortunately, you can choose from many Microplate closures and Microplate sealing units online such as adhesive sealing film, heat sealers, heat sealing film, mat caps, mat cappers, and universal lids.

For instance, adhesive sealing film, how would this be useful in the laboratory? Well, adhesive seals have easy-peel tabs at each short side which makes it easier to seal microplates for transport and most importantly to prevent contamination and evaporation.

Porvair Sciences adhesive films come in a variety of formats, allowing for most applications. You can purchase the adhesive seals in a SealPlate adhesive film for PP or PS plates, and you will receive a pack of 100 with a seal thickness of 110um. Other sealing films available from the Microplates website include the ThermalSeal Standard PCR or PCR Sterile film, and many more.

Another unit available at Porvair Sciences is the heat sealers, specifically the thermal plate sealers. This is a very useful unit compared to the others developed, and this is because heat sealing has become the most popular option in laboratories as it creates an airtight and chemically-resistant seal without complication adhesives being applied to a plate. Porvair Sciences meets the needs of laboratories with this unit of heat sealing.

Similarly, with the MicroSeal Manual Thermal Plate Sealer, which is compact and easy to use, it is also quick and straightforward. It protects precious samples from evaporation and contamination when performing PCR or during storage.

A unique feature of the MicroSeal is that is has a built-in thermostat to prevent overheating. It is the best unit for manual sealing of PCR plates and microplates, as it also has a pre-set temperature of 170ºC, perfect for most common sealing applications, and it even has a LED status display for power and heating.

For heat sealing films, Porvair Sciences has an extensive range of seals and foils for thermal and adhesive sealing of microplates. They also have re-usable cap mats which are available for friction sealing of plates.

Also, foils and seals for the MicroSeal and MiniSeal Plus are supplied by Microplates, and they have cut sheets with a measurement of 125mm x 78mm, and they come in packs of 100. Also, for the automated TriSeal system, these come in roll form, and sample rolls are 5m long, and production rolls are much longer around 500m or 610m long, which is a substantial length to seal around 5-6,000 plates.

According to Porvair Sciences, all of their heat seals have a sealing strength of -80ºC to +120ºC, are resistant to DMSO and TFA as well as most other solvents and will seal Polypropylene plates. Porvair recommends Polystyrene plates to only use Clear Seal.

So, it is clear that Porvair Sciences have a vast range of units for microplate sealing from adhesive sealing film to heat sealers, mat caps, a 96 well plate seal, and many more. You can browse through these products on the Microplates website, and each unit contains a product description if you would like to know more them and how they meet the needs of laboratories. Call the Porvair Sciences team today on +44 (0)1978 661144 if you have any queries about the units available online, or you can go online and check them out for yourself at https://www.microplates.com/microplate-closures-and-sealing/.

Microplates Supply Porvair Evaporators which Remove Solvent Evaporation from Microplates

Microplates supply Porvair Evaporators which are designed to remove solvent evaporation from microplates before analysis in storage buffer. These evaporators give significant throughput advantages to laboratories looking to optimise microplate sample preparation productivity.

According to Microplates, it is faster than centrifugal evaporation. Not only that, but you will notice significant increases in sample throughput, which are achieved through this advanced evaporator head technology and innovative manifold design. It directly injects heated nitrogen into each well of the microplate simultaneously.

The evaporators have been designed to be simple to install, operate and maintain. Installation requires only connection to a gas supply or cylinder and mains electricity.

Safety of operation is ensured as the CE marked compact units fit into all fume cupboards. Not suitable for high boiling solvents such as DMSO and water.

At Porvair Sciences, you have a choice of the MiniVap and MiniVap Gemini, which may be operated with a supply of clean, dry compressed air in place of nitrogen, if the chemistry allows.

For instance, the MiniVap just mentioned above, is used for low usage research and development departments. This means the work is carried out where a low number of individual plates or vials need drying. It is a straightforward and easy design that can be operated without any hassle.

One benefit of this Porvair evaporator is that it has superb control, so there are quicker drying times compared to other methods.

You can also purchase the Blowdown Evaporator Ultravap Mistral from Porvair Sciences. Again, this is a great design that allows the removal of solvent evaporation from microplates. With the Ultravap plan, it moves with the rotating arm of the centrifuge and gives you a fully flat profile.

It stays in a better position to be able to link with your robot. So, it is no surprise that Porvair Sciences have been in business for more than 20 years producing microplates.

Then you have the 96 well filter plate available on the Porvair Sciences website. These microplates include the 96 well plates which are used in their purest form to remove particulate matter from liquid. Either the particulate matter or the filtrate is needed for further study.

Porvair Sciences has many plates including the 96 well filtration plate which allows for the majority of filtration applications, and the range consists of 96-well, 800l, microplates which contain a choice of glass fibre, nylon, PVDF or polyethylene filtration materials.

Porvair Sciences even have ‘optimised filter plates’ for applications such as cell harvesting, DNA separations, binding studies, Plasmid isolation, general filtration and sample clean-up.

So, if you are interested in Porvair Evaporators or even the 96 well plates and 96 well reservoir, Microplates has you covered. Microplates have a range of Blowdown Evaporators and 96 well filter plates for you to choose from.
