Polypropylene microplates from Porvair Sciences are shown to contain almost no significant levels of leachable or extractable compounds.
A recent GC/MS analysis was carried out by Porvair Sciences on a wide range of different manufacturers’ polypropylene deep well plates to establish levels of extractable or leachable contaminants in each of them.
According to the company, while the Porvair plates showed no significant contaminants, many of the deep well plates from alternative sources showed contaminating peaks from chemicals used in the polypropylene to assist the injection moulding process.
Manufactured under class 10,000 conditions from ultra-pure grade polypropylene, Porvair deep well plates contain no contaminants that may leach out and affect stored samples or cell growth.
