Low DNA Binding Products
  • Azenta Life Sciences offer low binding products, recommended to support sensitive techniques such as qPCR and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), as well as storage of samples.
  • Manufactured using selected low-bind polymers, DNA loss is minimized during incubation and sample transfer, making it the ideal solution for use in applications with low DNA input.
  • Low binding feature results from selected low-bind polymers, no coating is used to achieve the binding characteristics. No contamination or modification of the samples.
  • Tested under a broad temperature range. Maximum DNA recovery after low temperature storage and high temperature incubations.
  • No detectable DNA loss during incubation steps and sample transfer in NGS sample prep and library construction. Ideally suited for sensitive applications with ultra-low nucleic acid input.

Key Features

Quality
  • Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
  • Stackable
Wells
  • Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
  • <30µl working volume, 55µl total well capacity
Frame
  • Rigid polycarbonate frame for added mechanical stability
  • Significantly reduced thermal expansion and sample evaporation for improved consistency in PCR results
  • Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of the frame
  • Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
Use
  • Recommended for low volume PCR, for use on standard thermal cyclers
  • Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
  • Ideal for use with robotic systems
  • Compatible with the majority of 384 well block PCR, qPCR and sequencing instruments
Options
  • Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety: purple, blue, clear, green, red, and black
  • Also available as a black frame with white wells (for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays)
  • Available as a black frame with black wells (for minimal light diffusion and interference)
  • Also available as a clear frame with frosted wells for use with ABI®/LifeTechnologies® qPCR instruments
  • Extra rigid skirt option (4ti-0384/RIG) for use with automation systems: eliminates the robotic grip picking up more than one plate at a time
  • Ultra-low DNA binding option available (4ti-LB0384/C) for sensitive applications with ultra-low DNA input and for maximum DNA recovery after low temperature storage and high temperature incubation; learn more about our low binding range
  • Available barcoded upon request; learn more about our barcoding options
