Porvair Sciences has announced a reference guide for scientists that details the chemical compatibility of materials used in microplates to a wide range of common laboratory chemicals.
Downloadable direct from the Porvair Sciences website the easy-to-use reference guide describes the compatibility of different microplate matrices and membranes to a wide range of acids, alcohols, bases, esters, hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones and other chemicals. Chemical compatibility data for each material, based upon tests performed at room temperature is listed as 'suitable', 'ok for medium term use' or 'unsuitable'.
