Porvair Sciences has developed a 2 ml 96-well microplate optimised for labs processing cannabis samples for analysis of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).
Sample processing is the second step in testing cannabis strains, carried out after collecting leaf, bud, and flower samples from cannabis plants, ready for accurate determination of the THC/CBD ratio by HPLC.
Using standard polypropylene microplates alongside bead-beating or grinding mills to homogenise the plant materials can cause damage to the plates, leading to cracking, leaking, and incorrect results due to sample cross-contamination.
Based upon a 2 ml square well block design, Porvair Sciences’ reinforced microplate has been designed to withstand the applied forces in bead beaters while maintaining a standard ANSI/SLAS footprint to ensure it is automation compatible. The company uses only pure, extractables-free polypropylene in the manufacture of its plates to ensure that no contamination will affect the THC/CBD analysis.
