Overview

96 well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted separately into the plate frame, allowing for selection and removal of individual tubes from the plate. Each tube clicks into place in the frame ensuring tubes are secure once inserted.

We have now extended our Individual Access range to include PCR plates with optically clear flat bottom wells for microscopy applications. The Individual Access 96 Well Skirted Optical Bottom PCR Plates (next to their counterpart within our FrameStar® range, 4ti-0970) are currently unique in the market, being suitable for use in both microscopy and PCR, for example, when single cell sorting is followed by molecular biology applications such as qPCR and sequencing.

Due to their flat bottoms and stackability, these plates are well suited for small sample volume storage (such as compound libraries), with no risk of damaging the seal of the plate below. Additionally, the small well volume enables excellent sample recovery. The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR. Together with the SBS footprint, this makes the plate suitable for use with robotic systems, ideal for both small and high throughput labs. Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to. The frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application.

Key Features

  • Quality
    • Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
  • Tubes
    • Individually removable from the rigid frame, while the rest of the tubes can remain in storage, reducing freeze-thawing of the whole plate
    • Thin walled tubes are made from PP for optimal results in (q)PCR whilst also being suitable for storage and incubation
    • <100µl working volume, <180µl total well capacity
  • Frame
    • Rigid polycarbonate frame provides mechanical stability of the plate
    • Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
  • Use
    • Suitable for microscopy and small volume sample storage
    • Ideal for use with robotic systems
    • Fewer transfer steps as the same tube can be used for microscopy, (q)PCR and storage
    • Each tube can still be separated after sealing
    • Each tube can be individually heat sealed using the Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong, such as the contents of each tube is left secure from cross contamination and evaporation for storage and transfer
  • Options
    • Also available as a FrameStar plate (4ti-0970) with fixed wells
    • Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to; frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application
    • We also offer customization of the Individual Access Plates such as color coding of the individual wells; please contact an expert for details
    • Available barcoded upon request; learn more about our barcoding options
    • The plate can be sealed in one step using Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong (4ti-05381/RA) on the Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter), resulting in individually sealed tubes with pierceable seals to allow for sample access
