THE Microlute 96 well SPE microplate from Porvair Sciences is designed to automate solid phase extraction (SPE) cleanup and analyte enrichment in busy laboratories.
Porvair offers a number of sorbents, from C18 to Mixed Mode, in either silica or polymer format with a choice of 10mg to 100mg loading per well. Microlute plates are also available with a combination of sorbents to provide a tool for accelerating the SPE methods development process.
The company says the design of the Microlute offers all the advantages of automated high throughput SPE sample preparation. The convenient microplate format is capable of processing 96 samples in one go, rapidly, repeatedly, and precisely, it adds.
Moulded from a single piece of polypropylene, the Microlute plate will not bend or distort because individual SPE cartridges do not have to be repeatedly plugged in and out. Porvair says it has eliminated the channeling effects that often limit the performance of dry powder loaded SPE columns. Each well on a Microlute plate has an individual drain spout ensuring 100% sample transfer and zero crossover contamination.
Microlute plates are compatible with most liquid-handling robotic systems for lab automation.
