FrameStar® Breakable Horizontally and Vertically PCR Plate, Low Profile

96 well plates, vertically & horizontally scored, snap easily into part plates, 8 or 12-well strips, part strips, individual tubes. Low profile wells, recommended for reaction volumes <20µl. Allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of a PCR plate.

  • PP wells, PC frame; no cut corners
  • <100µl working volume, 200µl total well capacity
  • Ensures not a single tube is wasted

Product Details

Key Features

Quality
  • Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
Wells
  • Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
  • 0.1ml wells, <100µl working volume, with a 200µl total well capacity when used with sealing options
  • Low profile wells, shorter than “standard” profile wells, to decrease the “dead space” between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample in the well
  • Eliminates condensation forming on the side wall of the tubes, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction
Use
  • Plates can be broken up in both 8-strip vertical and 12-strip horizontal directions, resulting in individual strips, part strips, or even individual tubes, giving you the highest range of flexibility
  • Breaking a plate is more accurate, more convenient, and safer than cutting it with scissors, as it avoids damaging the sealing rings and contamination of the wells
  • Plates can be filled, sealed and separated for storage, processing or distribution
  • Easy to break at any temperature
  • The plate can be adapted to individual pipetting schemes without the need to waste empty wells
  • Separated strips or tubes can be used for the positive control to avoid contamination of the samples
  • Compatible with all instruments that fit non-skirted, low profile plates
  • NB: In some cases you may have to break off the end tabs for it to fit
  • Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
