Exhibiting
at the recent LabAutomation 2004 meeting in San Jose, CA (USA),
Porvair Sciences - a leading supplier of applications focused microplate
technology, presented its latest innovative products for laboratory
automation.

The
show marked the North American debut of the TriSeal (tm) a new automated
plate sealer that can produce an accurate and tight seal on any
SBS proposed standard plate from 15 to 45mm in height. Incorporating
a unique turntable design, which allows simultaneous loading, unloading
and sealing, the TriSeal achieves an average rate of 12 plates per
minute. A plate sealing productivity double the rate of competing
machines.
At
this important international meeting considerable interest was also
shown in Porvair's new range of low volume 384-well plates. Providing
a liquid capacity of just 30µl 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.
Other
products that drew particular attention on the well visited stand
included the recently introduced 384-well deep well plate range,
the affordable MiniVap microplate solvent evaporator and Porvair's
comprehensive range of Krystal™ clear-bottomed microplates.
