Designed for Versatility and PrecisionThis semi-skirted, low profile PCR plate accommodates a variety of well shapes and is fully compatible with most 96-well thermal cyclers. Its partial skirt offers enhanced rigidity without sacrificing compatibility with manual and automated workflows. The raised well rims ensure improved sealing and sample integrity throughout PCR processes.
High-Quality Construction for Reliable ResultsManufactured from medical-grade polypropylene, the plate is free of DNase, RNase, and pyrogens, safeguarding sample purity. The natural/clear wells support easy visual inspection, while the alphanumeric grid aids efficient and accurate sample identification, minimizing tracking errors in demanding protocols.
Efficiency in Storage, Handling, and SealingThe plates stackability streamlines storage and transport, while compatibility with adhesive films, heat seals, and cap strips expands sealing options. Optimized dimensions ensure a perfect fit for standard thermal cyclers, facilitating hassle-free integration into laboratory operations.
FAQs of Semi-Skirted 0.1ml (Low Profile) 96 Well PCR Plate:
Q: How do I ensure proper sealing using this semi-skirted 96 well PCR plate?
A: This plate can be securely sealed using compatible adhesive films, heat seals, or cap strips. Raised well rims on each well improve seal integrity, minimizing the risk of evaporation or cross-contamination during PCR workflows.
Q: What thermal cyclers can this PCR plate be used with?
A: The plate is designed to fit standard 96-well thermal cyclers, including models from ABI, Bio-Rad, Eppendorf, Roche, and other leading manufacturers. Its universal footprint ensures wide compatibility within your laboratory.
Q: When should I choose a low profile, semi-skirted plate over a fully skirted or non-skirted format?
A: A low profile, semi-skirted plate is ideal when you need enhanced rigidity for machine handling (robotic or manual), better stacking, and compatibility with standard plate formats, while wanting to minimize the dead volume found in higher profile or fully skirted designs.
Q: Where can I use this PCR plate in my laboratory workflows?
A: This plate is suitable for PCR, qPCR, real-time PCR, and can also function for sample storage within its supported temperature range (-80C to 120C). Its clear design allows for visual sample monitoring across varied molecular biology protocols.
Q: What are the benefits of the alphanumeric grid and raised well rims?
A: The alphanumeric grid facilitates systematic sample identification and tracking, reducing errors. Raised well rims help achieve a better seal and prevent cross-contamination, crucial for high-precision results.
Q: How should I sterilize the plate if required for sensitive applications?
A: Although supplied non-sterile, these plates can be sterilized using standard autoclaving procedures, making them suitable for sensitive or aseptic workflows when necessary.
Q: Is this PCR plate reusable?
A: No, this 96 well PCR plate is intended for single-use applications. Reusing may compromise sample integrity and consistent results.
