New Epigenetics and Cell Biology Product Range

Porvair Sciences Ltd has announced that it has chosen the forthcoming Biotechnica 2011 exhibition in Hannover, Germany (11th-13th October) to launch a comprehensive range of new products for Epigenetics and Cell Biology.

Steve Knight, Marketing Manager, commented: “Visitors to our Biotechnica Stand A29, Hall 9 will have the opportunity to come to the launch of an Epigenetics / Cell Biology product range that uniquely combines top quality and value-for-money”. He added: “For labs interested in these products we will be offering free samples for evaluation.”

At this important meeting - Porvair Sciences will also be showing the MiniSeal Plus™, its latest entry-level semi-automated thermal sealer developed for laboratories sealing small to medium batches of microplates. The versatile device is capable of producing an accurate and tight seal on any SBS proposed standard, deep well or

PCR microplate from 3 to 62mm in height. For laboratories looking to remove the traditional drug discovery 'bottleneck' of solvent evaporation in microplates prior to analysis or reconstitution in buffer - Porvair Sciences' choice of 96-well, 384-well and robot compatible UltraVap™ sample concentrators will be of particular interest. Significant increases in sample throughput are achieved with the UltraVap through advanced evaporator head technology and an innovative manifold design, which directly injects heated nitrogen into each individual well of the microplate simultaneously. The system is proven to remove even the most stubborn solvents in just minutes. For heat sensitive and thermally labile samples the Ultravap™ may be operated in a unique two-stage mode combining rapid initial dry-down with carefully controlled final solvent evaporation.
