Porvair Sciences has announced a new polypropylene microplate optimised to provide a cost effective medium for low temperature sample storage in a convenient 384-well format
Accommodating 384 alphanumerically-labelled wells in a high precision microplate enables samples to be stored and easily traced.
Constructed from medical grade polypropylene the new 384-well sample storage plates provide high solvent resistance minimising leachates and ensuring long-term sample integrity.
A novel V-bottomed well design provides both high sample capacity (300µl) and allows sipping probes easy access to all the liquid contents.
Using the standard microplate format and providing handling lugs on the side skirt of the plate facilitates ready integration of the new 384-well sample storage plates with most robotic handling systems.
Typical applications of the 384-well sample storage plates will include automated sample storage and recovery applications in HTS, combinatorial chemistry, and clinical chemistry.
Built to economise freezer space, the 384-well sample storage plates are stackable, have a raised well area to ensure leak proof sealing and may be stored for extended periods without deterioration in temperatures down to -85C.
