Porvair Collection Plates

Collection Plates from Porvair

Porvair's range of collection plates includes:

96-well Deep Square - The family of 96-well square plates was designed so that it would make the interchange of plates simpler in automated systems. All three plates have the same geometry and the only variable is the well depth. For applications using the GenoGrinder and TissueLyzer a specially reinforced version of this plate is available in extractable-free, medical grade polymer. These plates are designed specifically for seed and leaf genomic studies.

384-well Deep Square - Selection of 384-well polypropylene plates to suit most applications. All of them are made from pre-tested polypropylene in Class 100000 clean rooms.

96-well Deep Round - Plates are made in virgin polypropylene to minimise extractables. Working volume is 1 mL per well and total volume is 1.1 mL. Coloured plates aid identification when retrieving from storage. Black plates are suitable for storing light sensitive compounds.

96-well Deep Round ‘Common Wall’ - These revolutionary plates are made in virgin polypropylene to minimise extractables. Maximum volume is 2.075 mL per well and working volume is a useful 1.85 ml, more than any other comparable ‘2 ml Round Well’ plate in this class. The ‘common wall’ design allows the highest possible volume to be used whilst maintaining an overall height of just 45 mm, complete with ANSI/SLAS standard base and footprint. Extra working volume is thus assured in a convenient round bottom, round well format.

96-well Shallow Round - Plates with well capacities of 350 µl, 270 µl and 220 µl. They have flat, round or V-bottoms and can be used for compound storage and culturing.

96-well Round Low Profile - Low profile 1.1 mL 96-well round plate with a height of just 27 mm. This allows more plates to be stored or stacked in a given space. The plates are made with extractable-free polypropylene for excellent results. A specific anti-evaporation cap mat is also available for this plate manufactured from thermoplastic elastomer.

High Volume Deep Well - 24 or 48 well plates for the combinatorial, environmental and food technology markets, they allow large volumes of samples to be transported in recognised ANSI/SLAS format microplates, to allow greater automation.

Porvair collection plates are used for sample storage, collection, presentation, and as part of a sample preparation workflow. They are made from polypropylene, an inert material giving heat and solvent resistant qualities. The plates are manufactured under clean room conditions and a significant number are DNase/RNase free. Each is made to the ANSI/SLAS format for compatibility with most readers/washers and automated equipment. Available in a diverse range of well numbers, shapes, and volumes to suit all application needs.
