Description
AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plate
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates are a great product for those research laboratories and institutions that want to scale processes such as nucleic acid purification, recovery and purification of proteins, next generation sequencing sample preparation, along with many other diverse protocols involving plasmid, viral and genomic DNA.
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates make a great complement to AHN myTube® spin columns in those times when sample numbers are large, and the processing time is limited. Contact us to obtain free samples of AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plate to test on your particular application.
Applicational Scope of AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plates
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates can be used in a diversity of protocols due to the various filter membrane options that are available for the system. This allows customers to work with one design that can be applied to a great diversity of usage scenarios. The 96 well format allows cost effective scaling of experimental procedures and high throughput sample processing.
PCR Purification with AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plates
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates with Glass Fibre Filters are best suited for high throughput purification of RNA, genomic DNA and plasmid DNA. Glass fibre filters have a high nucleic acid retention capacity and salt removal efficiency of up to 99.99%.
After running a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) it is often necessary to separate the PCR products from the reaction mix (nucleotides, primers, enzymes, and buffer).
Further Applicational Scope of AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plates
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates are available with further filter options on request. Contact info@cappahn.com to obtain the ordering information.
Further filter options of AHN myPlate® microfilter plates include:
- Synthetic polymer filters, having an excellent chemical resistance and temperature stability
- Polyvinylidene fluoride filters, ideal for general filtration and sample preparation, having high flow rates and very low extractables
- Nylon filters, ideal for a wide variety of applications, having a hydrophilic nature and above-par chemical resistance of nylon. This type of filter is great for cell and particulate removal from liquids as well as DNA recovery from acrylamide and agarose gels.
- Cellulose acetate, having a hydrophilic, low-adsorption and low binding characteristics. These properties are desirable in experimental procedures such as tissue culture media filtration, cold sterilisation and biological fluid filtration where maximum protein yields are desirable.
- Regenerated cellulose, with broad solvent compatibility and low extractables, for greater sample purity.
Anatomy of the AHN myPlate® Microfilter Plates
AHN myPlate® microfilter plates are crafted from choice-grade virgin polystyrene, ensuring each microfilter plate has outstanding transparency. AHN myPlate® microfilter plates come fitted with long drip directors that allow for secure use while concomitantly reducing cross-contamination.
Currently, myPlate® microfilter plates are supplied with an 8 × 12 matrix arrangement, spotted with a total of 96 wells. Each well has a generous sample volume of 1 mL, making the microfilter plates adaptable to a diversity of applications within the laboratory. The robust design of AHN myPlate® microfilter plates makes sample processing very quick and easy.
The system consists of a myPlate® microfilter plate that sits above a U-bottom (deep well) receiver plate and a filter fitted to the bottom of each well. The deep well microplate is made from high-grade transparent polystyrene, and it conforms to SBS standards. This allows for universal use in laboratory applications that employ SBS-compliant robotic systems. The filter membranes options are configurable at purchase to meet the needs of the researcher.
