10 ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT
generate per-cell data. When using primary/stem cells, this per-cell data is a more physiologically relevant model than the per-well data generated by traditional multimode detection technologies.
In addition to the novel combination of detection technologies it offers, the system also benefits from PerkinElmer’s
new Kaleido data acquisition and analysis software. Tis software’s workflow-based interface enables researchers to quickly and easily set up and run assays, perform analysis tasks (such as cell counting), and generate graphs and reports.
Alongside cell imaging capabilities, the EnSight system also offers Alpha Technology
– a bead-based proximity assay technology platform – as well as PerkinElmer’s LANCE and DELFIA TRF (time resolved fluorescence) assay platforms. Te system also features Epic label-free technology, which provides rich, physiologically relevant information about cellular and biochemical systems, without label interference. New from BMG Labtech is its
Porvair’s new partner and new assay plate I
n the face of growing demand for its 94-well and 383-well concentration systems, Porvair Sciences has appointed SPEware Corporation as its exclusive
partner for supporting and servicing its UltraVap, MiniVap and UltraVap Mistral microplate sample concentration systems. “SPEware Corporation brings over 20-years’
experience of sample preparation to the laboratory using solid phase extraction (SPE) and phospholipid removal/protein crash products, all paired with positive pressure processors and automation. This knowledge has helped them to establish Porvair’s MiniVap, UltraVap

and most recently UltraVap Mistral microplate sample concentrator range in the USA,” notes Steve Knight at Porvair Sciences. Drawing upon Porvair’s established position
in nitrogen blow down microplate sample concentration, the recently launched UltraVap Mistral offers a simple, turnkey solution for integrating an automatic dry down step into automated liquid handling protocols. The UltraVap Mistral is fully optimised to work with robotic liquid handling systems from suppliers including Beckman, Hamilton and Tecan and features a ‘shuttle’ design
capable of serving and retrieving microplates to and from the robot deck without further need for off-deck handling.
Also new from Porvair is the Chromatrap96 HT,
a high throughput ChIP microplate based on the novel spin-column ChIP technology. It is essentially 96 separate Chromatrap spin-columns in one device designed to enable researchers to perform up to 96 ChIP experiments in parallel. Assays can be performed either by using hand-held multichannel pipette or by using automated liquid handling robots for even higher throughputs.
