A new version of a 96-well solid phase extraction (SPE) plate has been introduced to accelerate the development of high-throughput screening applications
The innovative design of the new Microlute HTS Development plate offers all the advantages of automated and high throughput SPE sample preparation in a convenient microplate format capable of rapidly processing 96 samples in one go repeatedly and precisely. The Microlute HTS Development plate offers the user a choice of different phases and sorbent volumes in one plate.
This allows the user to easily identify the correct sorbent and loading for their specific application.
Supplying a complete methods development product that you don't have to construct yourself delivers considerable savings in valuable laboratory time.
Constructed from a single piece of moulded high quality plastic, the Microlute will not bend or distort because individual SPE cartridges do not have to be repeatedly plugged in and out.
Using a proprietary sorbent slurry loading technique, Porvair has eliminated the channelling effects often limiting the performance of dry powder loaded SPE columns.
Each well on the Microlute HTS Development system has an individual drain spout ensuring 100% sample transfer and zero crossover contamination. Working closely with the leading automated liquid handling companies has ensured that the Porvair Microlute HTS Development plate delivers high productivity, trouble-free operation with all robotic sample handling and preparation systems.
Microlute has been proven and developed through over seven years of development with large pharmaceutical companies to improve sample preparation times using SPE by up to 80%.
The current user base of the Microlute now numbers over 50 of the top pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical research organisations around the world.
