Overview

The FrameStar Breakable Horizontally and Vertically PCR Plates allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of FrameStar PCR plates, ensuring not a single tube is wasted.

Our FrameStar Breakable Horizontally and Vertically PCR Plates utilize the 2-component design of the FrameStar range, which combines the advantages of thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for easy and reliable handling. Learn more about the features and benefits of the FrameStar range.

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
- Standard 0.2ml (200µl) working volume, with a 0.3ml (300µl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
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, standard profile plates
- NB: In some cases you may have to break off the end tabs for it to fit
- Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
Options
- Available as a FrameStar Breakable Vertically PCR Plate; and FrameStar Breakable Vertically PCR Plate, Low Profile that snap into 8-tube strips or part plates
- Also available as a FrameStar Breakable Horizontally and Vertically PCR Plate, Low Profile
