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.

The dimensions of this plate are designed to optimise assay conditions on the Roche LightCycler® 480, 384well for reaction volumes of 5-20µl. The rigid two-component design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR, making it ideal for use with robotic systems.

- Compatible with the Roche LightCycler® 480
- 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
- Ideal for use with robotic systems
Barcoding
To order your plates with barcodes, add /SBC to the ordering code for Standard Single Barcoding or /DBC for Standard Double Barcoding. (See Barcoding for more details)
