Porvair Science's p3 microplate requires neither centrifuging nor vortexing, making it simpler and cleaner to prepare samples through protein precipitation techniques for the pharmaceutical industry.
Because protein precipitation is a method widely used for sample preparation within the pharmaceutical industry, the need to streamline the technique and save technician time has spurned a growing number of commercial multi-well filtration microplates optimised for protein precipitation sample preparation.
In a pharmaceutical evaluation of multiple microplates, it was shown that Porvair's p3 eliminates 'wetting out' and leaking of sample through the plate without resorting to complex valve systems.
Further, the treated frit-matrix used in the p3 maintained high flow rates, enabling quick sample preparation.
The p3 plate did not have any major adverse non-specific binding problems.
These benefits, in addition to its cost effectiveness, led the pharmaceutical company that undertook the evaluation is now using the p3 plates on a daily basis.
