FrameStar® 96 Well Skirted PCR Plate

96 well skirted plates designed for use on standard thermal cyclers. Low profile wells, recommended for reaction volumes <20µl. Rigid frame eliminates warping and distortion during PCR. Ideal for use with robotic systems.

  • PP wells, PC frame; cut corner H1
  • <100µl working volume, 200µl total well capacity
  • Available barcoded on request
  • Ultra-low DNA binding option available

Product Details

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
  • <0.1ml (100µl) working volume, 0.2ml (200µl) total well capacity
  • 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
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 frame
  • Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
Use
  • Recommended for low volume PCR
  • Ideal for use with robotic systems
  • Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
Options
  • Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety: purple, blue, clear, green, red, black, and white
  • Also available with a black frame and with a clear frame for the white well variety, for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays
  • Also available as a black frame with black wells for non-PCR fluorescent applications
  • Extra rigid skirt option (4ti-0960/RIG) for use with Perkin-Elmer®Sciclone, Beckman, Hamilton, and other automation systems: eliminates the robotic grip picking up more than one plate at a time
  • Ethylene oxide treated option available (4ti-OX960C/SBC) for forensic use; learn more about our ethylene oxide treated range 
  • Ultra-low DNA binding option available (4ti-LB0960/RIG) 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
  • Combi packs available (for 4ti-0960) with Optically Clear Windowed qPCR Seal (4ti-0565)
  • Clear Polystyrene Lid (4ti-0287) available for 4ti-0960/RIG

Low DNA Binding Plates

  • 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.
