Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive specifications and applications for various assay plates by Porvair Sciences, tailored for life sciences research. These plates are optimized for assays such as fluorescence, luminescence, and ELISA.
96-Well Assay Plates: Available in black, white, and black with white wells, these plates minimize optical crosstalk and contamination. They are suitable for absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, and scintillation applications, featuring low background fluorescence for black plates, enhanced signal for white plates, and a working volume of 350µl per well.
384-Well Assay Plates: These plates, available in black, white, and clear, are optimized for high throughput screening with working volumes of 30µl or 120µl per well. They reduce well-to-well crosstalk and are compatible with standard SBS/ANSI formats.
1536-Well Assay Plates: Designed for very high throughput screening, these plates have a working volume of 10µl per well and are manufactured to high tolerances for robotic system integration. They are available in black, white, and clear.
Krystal™ Plates: Available in 24-well, 96-well, and 384-well formats with clear bottoms for direct microscopic viewing, these plates are optimized for fluorescence and luminescence assays. They feature opaque walls to prevent crosstalk and are made from ultra-pure polystyrene.
Glass Bottom Plates: Designed for CCD imaging and laser detection, these plates have a polystyrene upper part and a borosilicate glass base, offering high light transmission and low autofluorescence, suitable for fluorescence assays with a UV optical cut-off of 335nm.
Key Specifications: All plates conform to SBS/ANSI standards, are available in various treatments including high protein binding and tissue culture, and are supplied sterile with lids. They are robot-friendly and resistant to common laboratory solvents.
UV Assay Plates: Porvair Sciences offers quartz- and COP-bottomed, UV-transparent microplates for assays requiring far UV excitation or detection below 350nm. Available in 96- and 384-well black matrix versions, these plates are designed for sensitive UV range fluorescence assays, featuring a 75µm quartz base thickness, 220nm far UV cut-off, low autofluorescence, and high planar flatness. They are robot-friendly and resistant to alcohol, DMSO, and PBS.
PCR Plates: Made from polypropylene for rigidity, Porvair's PCR plates are compatible with most 96- and 384-well block PCR and sequencing instruments. They come in no-skirt, half-skirt, and fully skirted versions, with standard and low-profile options, featuring DNA/RNAase-free material, non-pyrogenic properties, and a design that fits various thermal cyclers and sequencers. All plates conform to SBS/ANSI specifications.
Filtration Plates: Used to remove particulate matter from liquids, these plates have applications in cell harvesting, DNA separations, and sample clean-up. Porvair offers 48-, 96-, and 384-well microplates with materials like glass fibre, nylon, PVDF, or polyethylene, featuring individual drainage spouts for 100% sample transfer, robot-friendly design, and compatibility with standard vacuum manifolds.
Filtration Plates Overview: The document details specifications for various filtration plates used in life sciences, categorized by the number of wells, volume, filter material, pore size, and drip type. Key materials include polypropylene, glass fibre, hydrophilic PVDF, and polyethylene, with pore sizes ranging from 0.2 microns to 25 microns. The plates are available in configurations such as 96-well, 384-well, and 48-well, with volumes from 140µl to 2ml.
Bacti-Growth Plates: Designed for cultivating bacteria, yeast, and cell lines, these plates are made from high-grade raw materials to prevent contamination and ensure reproducibility. They come in configurations from 24-well to 384-well, with volumes ranging from 300µl to 10ml, sealed in sterile bags, and conform to SBS/ANSI standards, suitable for robotic handling.
