Maintaining Integrity of Light-Sensitive Samples with Black Microplate and Seal Combo

Black microplate and seal combination technology eliminates sample degradation by exposure to light, even over long-term storage periods.

Manufactured from polypropylene, Porvair Sciences' (Leatherhead, Surrey, UK) black 96-deep well microplate offers excellent heat- and solvent-resistant qualities. Using only ultrapure grade polymer means that each black plate has near-zero leachates, ensuring long-term sample integrity. Porvair black plates are supplied RNase/Dnase-free so they can be used with even the most sensitive biologic samples. Offering a sample volume of 1 mL/well with round-well bottoms for good mixing, Porvair black plates are precisely manufactured to applicable ANSI [American National Standards Institute]/SBS [Society for Biomolecular Sciences] dimensions, ensuring complete compatibility with almost all readers and automated equipment.

Also available from Porvair Sciences is the AbsorbMax sealing films, which are 200-µm thick black vinyl adhesive sealing films for use with 96-well black microplates. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. Edge cutouts assist in positioning and accommodate ribs on the plate bottom. The light-blocking and absorbing properties of AbsorbMax sealing films make them suitable, in combination with Porvair black 96-well plates, for protecting light-sensitive assays or samples during storage.
