Use these hard-shell plates for PCR. The white wells provide an increase in fluorescent signal strength. The patented two-component design is specifically engineered to withstand the stresses of thermal cycling.

Additional benefits include:

• Superior stability and flatness allow precise positioning and robotic handling
• Sturdy plate design is ideal for heat sealing methods
• Warp-resistant feature provides durability during automation, high-speed centrifugation, and storage (even at –80°C)
• User-readable bar code options for convenient sample tracking in high-throughput settings
• White alphanumeric labeling for easy well identification
• Footprint and well spacing designed to match ANSI/SBS standard dimensions
• Composition helps prevent DNA binding
• Polypropylene resin allows superior well-to-well uniformity for reliable and reproducible real-time qPCR results
• Certified to be free of DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
• Maximum volume is up to 200 μl

Available Formats
