The Thermo Scientific 96-Well PCR Barcoded Plates, clear with clear wells, are the ultimate in high performance PCR plastics. Combining the rigidity of a polycarbonate frame with thin walled polypropylene wells, the Armadillo plate provides superior thermal cycling performance under all conditions without warping. These plates are designed for high-throughput, robotic PCR, and qPCR applications and feature a raised rim to improve seal integrity. They are available with both clear and white colored wells and with 128-industry standard barcoding.
Highlights
• Optically clear skirt—Aids in visualization of liquids and improves stacking capabilities in automated handling systems • ANSI:SBS footprint—With rigidity of polycarbonate skirt, the ANSI footprint ensures complete compatibility with robotic systems for high throughput applications • Thermostable polycarbonate semi-skirted frame design—Warp-resistant thermal cycling and enhanced mechanical stability in robotic handling • Thin walled U-bottom wells—Optimal heat transfer and maximum sample recovery • Indented Alphanumeric Grid reference lettering—Integrated frame and well design for improved heat sealing • Low profile design—Allows for maximum heat transfer and minimal evaporation when utilizing low volume samples (200 µL working volume). Compatible with Roche LightCycler™ 480 Real-Time PCR systems • Available in both clear (BC2496[X]) and white (BC3496[X]) colored wells—Ensures the highest level of sensitivity for all PCR/qPCR reactions • Custom barcoding available—All plates can be provided barcoded to customer specifications for fully automated applications
Applications
• PCR • qPCR/Real-Time PCR
Barcoding The barcodes are the industry standard code 128. The label itself can withstand temperatures from -196°C up to 120°C to ensure that the barcodes stay on the plate throughout your entire workflow. It also has a special coating to virtually eliminate any ‘rubbing off' of the code during handling. The dual barcodes are located on the opposite numeric and opposite alpha sides of the plate.
