Porvair Sciences has launched a reference guide for scientists that details the chemical compatibility of materials used in microplates to a range of common laboratory chemicals.
The reference guide is downloadable direct from the company's website.
It describes the compatibility of different microplate matrices and membranes to a range of acids, alcohols, bases, esters, hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones and other chemicals.
Chemical compatibility data for each material, based upon tests performed at room temperature, is listed as 'suitable', 'ok for medium-term use' or 'unsuitable'.
