FrameStar^® PCR plates have a two-component design, which combines the advantages of thin wall polypropylene tubes, for optimum PCR results and a rigid polycarbonate skirt and deck, for highest thermal stability and rigidty. In contrast to standard one-piece PCR plates, evaporation from corner positions and outer rows of wells is minimal, which allows for downscaling of reagent volumes and therefore saves costs.

Low profile plates have shorter wells than standard profile plates, decreasing the "dead space" between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. Low profile products are especially recommended for use with reaction volumes below 20µl. The rigid 2-component design eliminates warping and disortion during PCR, making it ideal for use with robotic systems.

• Recommended for low volume PCR
• Polycarbonate frame for mechanical stability of the plate
• Polypropylene thin-walled tubes for optimum PCR results
• Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of frame
• Recommended for use with robotic systems
• 6 colour options
• Black frame with white wells for fluorescent based assays

Barcoding

To order your plates with barcodes, simply add /SBC to the end of the ordering code for Standard Single Barcoding, /DBC for Standard Double Barcoding, /TBC for Standard Triple Barcoding, or /QBC for Standard Quadruple Barcoding (see Barcoding for more details).

Please be aware the barcoding products have a minimum order quantity of 10 boxes with 50 plates.
