A NEW applications report shows that deep well polypropylene microplates from Porvair Sciences contain almost no significant levels of leachable or extractable compounds which might affect the integrity of stored samples.
Deep well microplates from Porvair maintain sample integrity
GC/MS analysis carried out by on a wide range of different manufacturers’ polypropylene deep well plates was carried out by Porvair, to establish the levels of extractable or leachable contaminants they contained.
Porvair found that its own plates showed no significant contaminants, but that many of the deep well plates from alternative sources showed contaminating peaks from chemicals used in the polypropylene to assist the injection moulding process.
Porvair deep well playes are manufactured under class 10,000 conditions from ultra-pure grade polypropylene. For sensitive biological applications, the company offers a selection of deep well plates certified as RNase / DNase free. Plates are available in a choice of formats, volumes, and well shapes, and are manufactured to SBS/ANSI dimensions for compatibility with microplate washers and automated lab equipment.
