Porvair Sciences : What floorutions for sample preparation and the analytical screening?

Based in the UK, Porvair Sciences designs high-performance consumables and instruments for sample preparation and analytical screening. 96/384-well plates, SPE/SLE, protein precipitation, sealing films and foils, J.G. Finneran vials and caps, as well as Ultravap evaporators, make up a portfolio built for LC-MS/MS, pharmaceutical R&D, environmental and food & drink testing. ANSI/SLAS-compatible and automation-ready, Porvair solutions deliver reproducible results, from well to analyser.

Decades of engineering expertise dedicated to sample preparation

Part of the Porvair group, Porvair Sciences has established itself over several decades as a specialist in microplates and sample preparation solutions for demanding laboratories. Based in the United Kingdom, the brand has built its reputation on precision-machined wells, exceptional surface cleanliness and batch-to-batch consistency—cornerstones of reliable, reproducible analyses. By integrating the expertise of J.G. Finneran (vials, caps, septa) and expanding nitrogen blowdown evaporation with the Ultravap family, Porvair has extended the sample workflow from collection through to autosampler vials. Driven by automation, it now supports pharma/biotech, CROs and QC laboratories worldwide, with the same guiding principle: quality, traceability and service.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Porvair Sciences excels in sample preparation and microplate formats. Its Microlute plates cover SPE and SLE in 96-well (e.g., Microlute SLE, Microlute CP) as well as protein precipitation (Microlute PPT) for complex matrices prior to LC-MS/MS. Low-autofluorescence assay and filtration plates, such as Krystal, deliver clean signals in fluorescence/luminescence and absorbance.

On evaporation, the Ultravap systems (MiniVap, Ultravap Levante, Ultravap Mistral) provide precise nitrogen blow-down, with fine control of temperature and gas flow to minimise analyte loss and solvent carryover. Options for vapour management enhance safety and compliance. For set-up, the universal manifold speeds up filtration/SPE in 24/48/96-well formats.

The brand also supplies thermal seals and films, cap mats, reservoirs and, via J.G. Finneran, a broad range of autosampler vials, caps and highly inert septa. Everything follows the ANSI/SLAS footprint for seamless integration on robotic platforms. Batch traceability, compliance documentation (ISO 9001:2015), sterile and DNase/RNase-free options complete a portfolio recognised for its reproducibility and LC-MS/MS compatibility across pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety and bioanalytical workflows.
