Overview
The Purus microwell plate cleaner is a novel technology that aims to introduce responsible practices into the laboratory, alleviate supply-chain limitations, and lower the costs connected with single-use plastics.
The Purus eliminates biological and chemical contaminants from 96 well plates so that they could be used again.

Features
Easy to implement in the lab
- Users can just insert their microwell plates of all kinds in Purus by Grenova
- The clean cycle can be chosen
- Recover the microwell plates without any carryover
- Reuse clean microwell plates in the laboratory
- Users can repeat this process, over and over again, to decrease waste and save money
