Break-A-Way PCR Plate, Low Profile
Break-A-Way PCR Plate, Low Profile
Accurate, Sensitive and Consistent for Real Time PCR
96 well semi-skirted plate, vertically scored, snaps easily into strips of 8 tubes or part plates, cut corner A12; low profile, 0.1 ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl.
Our FrameStar® Break-A-Way 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.
This low profile plate has shorter wells than the standard profile plate (4ti-1000), decreasing the “dead space” between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. Low profile products are especially recommended for use with reaction volumes below 20 µl.
