FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 16, 2003. The Mat Capper from Porvair Sciences is a compact and portable instrument for capping of microplates with sealing mats. New HTS products prove a hit ... Porvair Sciences, a leading supplier of applications focused microplate technology, chose the recent 9th Society for Biomolecular Screening (SBS) meeting in Portland, Oregan (USA) to present its latest products for high throughput screening. At this important international meeting considerable interest was shown in Porvair's new range of low volume 384-well plates. Providing a liquid capacity of just 40 µl per well, the new plates were of particular interest to HTS laboratories looking to conserve valuable sample and reagents. Using a proprietary manufacturing technique, Porvair's low volume 384-well plates offer market leading plate flatness (+ 0.20 mm) that translates into a significant increase in measurement precision and helps eliminate mishandling problems when used within automated environments. The show also marked the North American successful introduction of the p3 a novel microplate that eliminates the sample breakthrough and waste associated with leakages from traditional protein precipitation plates. The p3 allows 96 samples to be processed in one batch giving significantly improved productivity versus traditional methodologies. The novel design of the p3 is readily integrated into automated systems offering the possibility of further throughput gains. The protocol used by the plate is little changed from the familiar protein precipitation method. Other products shown included the recently introduced MiniVap microplate solvent evaporator and Porvair's comprehensive range of Krystal™ clear-bottomed microplates for photometric and cell counting applications.
