• Provides complete flexibility
• Cost-effective
• Rigid 2-component design - thermostable frame prevents distortion of tube strip
• Fits majority of thermal cyclers
• 5 frame colour options with clear wells
• White well strip option for qPCR and other optical assays
• End tabs for easy handling and labelling
• Eliminates tube strip breakage
• 2D barcodes available - the 14 x 14 array offers 3.6 x 10¹⁵ unique alpha numeric code
• 2D readers available - easy sample management

FrameStar PCR plates are covered by one or more of the following U.S. patents or their foreign counterparts, owned by Eppendorf AG: US Patent Nos. 7,347,977 and 6,340,589

FrameStar^® Break-A-Way uses the two-component design we use for FrameStar^® and FrameStrip™ which combines the advantages of thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame porition for easy and reliable handling.

When used as a plate, the benefits of FrameStar^® are realised - evaporation from corner positions and outer rows of wells is minimal, which allows for downscaling of reagent volumes.  When used in strips, the benefits of FrameStrip™ are seen, where the rigid two-component design ensures the strip remains straight and stable.

For colour coding of experiments, we offer FrameStar^® Break-A-Way in 5 colours, all with clear tubes and for optical assays, such as qPCR, we supply strips with white wells in black frames.  FrameStar^® Break-A-Way is compatible with the majority of thermal cyclers.
