Since its founding in 1979 by Dr. Patrick Cleveland and his wife Victoria, V&P's goal has been to provide the best engineered and most innovative research equipment available. We specialize in machining and 3D printing tools for developing technologies. Since we invented the first 96 well Filter Manifold (US Patent # 4,427,415) and the Mini-fold Dot-Blot Hybridization Manifold over 33 years ago, we have been providing solutions for scientific research including OEM and private manufacturing to fit every need. An article on the history of microplates lists some of Dr. Cleveland's contribution to the advancement of the technology.
We are the leader in MULTI-BLOT™ Replicators, Pin Tools for High Throughput Screening (and Ultra High Throughput Screening), the Alligator Microplate Tumble Stirring Systems (US Patent #6,176,609), the Magnetic Levitation Stirrer for deep well microplates (US patent #6,357,907 / EU patent #1,064,988), the Vortex Stirrer (US patent #7,484,880 B2 / EU patent #1,736,235 / German patent #602,006,026,122.5), the Bubble Paddle stirring systems for reservoirs (US patent # 6,461,034 / EU patent #1,314,471 B1), the Manual Glass Slide Arrayer for making DNA, RNA and protein arrays on glass slides (US patent #6,613,284 / EU patent #1,363,737 / Republic of China patent #NI-164,388), and the Manual Compact Disc Arrayer for making DNA, RNA and protein arrays on compact Discs (US patent 6,692,701).
