Porvair Showcases Products for Plant & Animal Genomics

Porvair Sciences will showcase two important technical breakthroughs at PAG XXV in San Diego (USA) from January 14-18, 2017. Their brand-new 96-well Seed Genomics plate sets a new standard for high throughput plant genomics sample preparation. Unlike most commercially available deep well plates, the Seed Genomics plate has been proven to withstand demanding applications using steel ball bearings in the wells shaken at up to 1500rpm used to homogenise seeds, leaves or tissue ready for DNA extraction. Manufactured from superior grade, ultra-clean polypropylene – Porvair Seed Genomics plates are certified DNA/RNA and DNA/RNA-ase free and can be paired with a matching cap mat.
