Reservoirs and Storage/Collection Plates constructed of natural polypropylene are low binding, resistant to heat, chemicals and biological materials and robotic friendly with industry standard dimensions. Pyramid or V-bottom format is for maximum recovery. Plate Seals and Seal Strips for every format are available.
Filtration is generally done in a custom-designed Manifold Filtration System (Catalog # 74-5572) allowing both collection of the filtrates in a Filter Bottom Plate and retention of the particulates on the membrane. Optionally, low-speed centrifugation in microplate baskets may be used instead of vacuum filtration. Both the filtrates and the retentates are recovered at high recoveries and with high well-to-well reproducibility for further analysis.
A complete system includes Filter Plate, Storage/Collection Plate, Lid and Vacuum Manifold.
