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
