Storage Plates

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Deep well polypropylene microplates are essential for sample storage in life science laboratories. The choice of raw materials for these plates is crucial to ensure sample integrity, especially when storing solutions in solvents like methanol or DMSO, which can extract chemicals from the polypropylene.
Specifications and Testing
Porvair Sciences conducted tests on various manufacturers' plates to assess extractable levels. Using methanol and caffeine as a standard, GC-MS analysis showed Porvair plates had minimal extractables, unlike other commercial plates that showed contamination from moulding additives.
Product Features
  • 96-well deep square plates: Made from virgin polypropylene, available in various well volumes (350µl to 2ml), with features like V-bottoms for liquid removal and raised rims for heat sealing.
  • 96-well deep round plates: Made from pre-tested polypropylene, available in different colors for easy identification, with a working volume of 1ml per well.
  • 96-well shallow round plates: Available in well volumes of 350µl, 270µl, and 220µl, designed for compatibility with automated systems.
  • 96-well round low profile plates: Low profile design for space efficiency, made from extractable-free polypropylene.
  • 96-well glass vial storage plates: Combines glass vials with polypropylene carrier for solvent storage, preventing leachates.
  • 384-well plates: High-density storage options with volumes of 58µl and 300µl, suitable for low-temperature storage.
Accessories and Additional Features
Porvair offers centrifuge support plates to prevent distortion during centrifugation, and large volume plates for specific market needs, all manufactured to ANSI/SBS standards.
Conclusion
Choosing the correct grade of polypropylene is essential for maintaining sample integrity in storage plates. Porvair Sciences provides a range of options with minimal extractables, suitable for various laboratory applications.

Storage Plates-2

Ramp 30°C/min Initial temp 70°C Hold 2 min Final temp 310°C Hold 5 min Results from the GC-MS showed good performance from the Porvair microplate, with a clean caffeine peak and no significant levels of leachable or extractable compounds. Plate B shown here, is a typical example of the other commercial microplates tested, which included two major German manufacturers and several other well-known suppliers. These variously displayed extra peaks with a variety of retention times across the run, indicating several different contaminants. Further analysis of these extra peaks revealed that they were,...
