96 Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate With Upstand, ABI Style
96 Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate With Upstand, ABI Style
Accurate, Sensitive and Consistent for Real Time PCR
Standard profile, 0.2 ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame with upstand, cut corner A12, working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl; designed for use on ABI® instruments.
This ABI® Style PCR plate offers the benefits of our 2-component design to ABI® standard block users. This design combines the advantages of ultra-thin wall polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results with a rigid polycarbonate skirt and deck for the highest thermal stability.
We recommend this semi-skirted plate for use with ABI® thermal cyclers and sequencers; it can be used directly with ABI® instruments with no adaptors necessary. The only case where this is not true is with the ABI Fast Block thermal cyclers; in which case using our FrameStar® FastPlate is recommended instead – found here.
Plate Features
-
Ideal for use with ABI® thermal cyclers & sequencers
-
Recommended for low volume PCR
-
Rigid polycarbonate frame adds to the mechanical stability of the plate – as a result thermal expansion and sample evaporation is reduced significantly, leading to an improved consistency in PCR results
-
Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
-
Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of frame
-
Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
-
Ideal for use with robotic systems
-
<0.2 ml (200 µl) working volume, 0.3 ml (300 µl) total well capacity
-
6 frame colour options for the clear well variety – purple, blue, clear, green, red, and black
-
Also available as a black frame with white wells for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays
-
Raised and colour differentiated grid reference to aid well and sample identification
-
Available barcoded
-
Combi packs available (for 4ti-0730/C) with Q-Stick™ qPCR Seal (4ti-0565)

Now Available – Ethylene Oxide Treated Plates
Forensic applications demand the highest quality consumables. Avoiding external DNA contamination is of the utmost importance, and as a result high demands are placed upon manufacturers of products for use throughout the workflow.
At 4titude®, we have a stringently controlled cleanroom production facility certified, according to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, for production of DNA and RNA free products. Following cleanroom production, 4titude®’s consumables for forensic use are packed into ethylene oxide permeable bags and then subjected to ethylene oxide sterilisation. This 2-step processing ensures degradation of amplifiable DNA.
Plates of this design for forensic use are now available to order under the product code 4ti-OX730C/SBC.

Barcoding
This plate is available with linear Code 128-format barcodes to aid identification and traceability for your samples. To order your plates with barcodes, simply add /SBC to the end of the ordering code for Standard Single Barcoding, /DBC for Standard Double Barcoding, /TBC for Standard Triple Barcoding, or /QBC for Standard Quadruple Barcoding.
