Break-2-Ways PCR Plate
Break-2-Ways PCR Plate
Accurate, Sensitive and Consistent for Real Time PCR
96 well rigid plate, vertically and horizontally scored, snaps easily into part plates, 8 well strips, 12 well strips, part strips or individual tubes; standard profile, 0.2 ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl.
4titude®’s FrameStar® Break-2-Ways plates allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of FrameStar® PCR plates, ensuring not a single tube is wasted.
Our Break-2-Ways plates utilise the 2-component design of the FrameStar® range, which combines the advantages of thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for easy and reliable handling.
Plate Features
-
The 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, standard profile plates (like our Standard Non-Skirted Plate) NB: In some cases you may have to break off the end tabs for it to fit
-
Also available as FrameStar® Break-A-Way PCR Plate, Low Profile for a 0.1 ml well option
-
Standard 0.2 ml (200 µl) working volume, with a 0.3 ml (300 µl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
-
Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
-
Also available as FrameStar® Break-2-Ways PCR Plates, Low Profile as well as FrameStar® Break-A-Way PCR Plates and FrameStar® Break-A-Way PCR Plates, Low Profile that snap easily into strips of 8 tubes or part plates
-
Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
