Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for converting gas to liquids and fractionating crude oil or condensate. Advantageously, it includes hydroprocessing at least a portion of the fractionated product and at least a portion of the Fischer-Tropsch products in the same hydroprocessor. Among other advantages the present invention provides for improved output quality for diesel and/or naphtha, reduced transportation and/or storage costs, and/or enhanced energy efficiency.

Abstract: A thin walled multi-well plate for PCR use comprising: (i) a deck and skirt portion said deck and skirt portion having an outer surface and an inner surface; (ii) a plurality of wells for holding chemical reactants, each well comprising a well wall having an inner surface and an outer surface; wherein the deck and skirt portion and the plurality of wells are of integral construction and formed from the same plastics material, and wherein the deck and skirt portion has a mean thickness from 1.5 mm±10% to 3 mm±10%.

Abstract: A multiwell plate assembly comprising: (i) one or more plate top portions, each plate top portion comprising a plurality of wells for holding chemical reactants, and a substantially planar deck portion connecting said wells in an ordered array, said deck portion comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter; (ii) a substantially rigid frame portion for holding said plate top portion(s), said frame portion comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, a top surface and a bottom surface, an aperture in said top surface being adapted to accommodate one or more plate top portions; (iii) securing means adapted to secure the plate top portion(s) to the frame portion.
