Said to be the first optimised product to combine the productivity-enhancing features of a 96-well microplate system with a new proprietary design avoiding mess and waste
Porvair Sciences has announced a major new breakthrough in performing protein precipitation experiments.
For the first time an optimised product is available that combines the productivity-enhancing features of a 96-well microplate system with a new proprietary design avoiding the mess and waste associated with leakages from traditional protein precipitation plates.
The new Protein Precipation Filtration plate incorporates a novel dual filter design to eliminate sample breakthrough.
The pre-filter in the new plate retains large flocculent particles avoiding problems due to 'plugging', whilst the final filter traps residual protein particles.
Using a proprietary treatment the hydrophobic/oleophobic filters completely retain the acetonitrile/sample protein precipitation mix allowing complete mixing without loss or leakage.
In addition the treatment has allowed a larger pore size than in traditional designs to be used resulting in an improved flow rate.
The inert nature of the filter materials ensures no adsorption of sample components.
The Protein Precipitation Filtration plate allows 96 samples to be processed in one batch giving a typical 70% time saving over traditional methodologies.
The protocol used by the new plate is little changed from the familiar traditional protein precipitation method.
The novel design of the Protein Precipation Filtration plate enables ready integration into automated systems to give further increases in productivity.
