Porvair Sciences has introduced a 96-well deep well microplate designed for labs using magnetic beads for nucleic acid purification, clean up, and protein purifications.

The 96-well magnetic bead separation microplate from Porvair has a reinforced base that can be routinely centrifuged at up to 6,000x g enabling faster magnetic bead separation protocols and improved sample quality, according to the company.

Manufactured in a class 10,000 cleanroom facility from ultra-pure grade polypropylene, the magnetic bead separation plate contains the lowest possible level of leachable contaminants and is certified as RNase/DNase free to minimize any impact on bioassays. Combining round well architecture with ‘U’ bottom and a large working volume (2.0 ml per well) this specialist deep well plate offers improved mixing, pelleting, and washing of a wide range of magnetic beads. The cylindrical wells with round bottoms also ensure optimal recovery of sample.

Offering high chemical and temperature resistance (-196 °C to +121 °C) the design of these new plates also includes alphanumeric well coding for easy sample tracking and raised well rims to enable easy, high integrity sealing.

Porvair Sciences, together with JG Finneran and Porvair Kbiosytems, are global manufacturers of consumables and instruments for life science and analytical workflows. From microplate technologies, glass vials, assay kits to automated laboratory equipment, the group is committed to equipping customers with high quality products for improved analysis and increased productivity to accelerate scientific discovery with integrity.
