Chromatrap® - Porvair Sciences Ltd

Chromatrap^® is a product of Porvair Sciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Porvair plc. They are one of the largest manufacturers of Ultra-Clean microplates, 96 well well filtration plates and microplate handling equipment for life science and synthetic chemistry. With offices and Class VIII clean room manufacturing located in the UK, combined with a world-wide network of distributors and dedicated distribution hub in the USA, their pride themselves on their continuous innovation, research and flexibility to meet customer demands. They offer OEM production and contract manufacturing through their North Wales facility.

Our porous polymeric material, BioVyon™, whose chemical functionalization can endow it with internal surface properties individually configured to capture and separate target species out of difficult mixtures, has opened up many possibilities in the field of BioSciences where molecules of interest such as DNA, RNA, proteins etc can be selectively pulled out of complex mixtures of biological origin. The materials have proven to be a remarkably good substrate for accepting novel chemistries such as the organically bound Protein A and Protein G in Chromatrap^®.

Using their 25 years experience of microplate manufacturing, Porvair Sciences has now developed a high-throughput bead-free ChIP assay based on their filtration plates containing their Chromatrap chemistry. Chromatrap-96 enables large scale epigenetic screening to become a reality in many laboratories and eliminates many of the long and laborious steps previously undertaken in such work.
