Porvair Sciences has announced that it has chosen the forthcoming Biotechnica 2011 exhibition in Hannover, Germany (11-13th October) to launch a range of products for epigenetics and cell biology.
At this meeting, Porvair Sciences will also be showing the Miniseal Plus, its latest entry-level semi-automated thermal sealer developed for laboratories sealing small to medium batches of microplates.
The sealer is capable of producing an accurate and tight seal on any SBS proposed standard, deep well or PCR microplate from 3 to 62mm in height.
For laboratories looking to remove the traditional drug-discovery 'bottleneck' of solvent evaporation in microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in buffer, Porvair will be offering a choice of 96-well, 384-well and robot compatible Ultravap sample concentrators.
Ultravap has been designed to provide increases in sample throughput through evaporator-head technology and a new manifold design that directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual well of the microplate simultaneously.
The system is proven to remove even the most stubborn solvents in minutes, according to the company.
For heat-sensitive and thermally labile samples, the Ultravap may be operated in a two-stage mode combining rapid initial dry-down with carefully controlled final solvent evaporation.
Porvair Sciences will also have on display a selection of its applications-optimised microplates.
