Thermo Scientific Armadillo PCR plates 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 384-well plates are orange, with white wells.

Features of Armadillo PCR plates:

• Optically clear skirt—aids in visualization of liquids and improves stacking capabilities in automated handling systems
• Raised rim design—improved well surface area improves seal integrity in automated heat sealing
• ANSI:SBS footprint—with rigidity of polycarbonate skirt, the ANSI footprint ensures complete compatibility with robotic systems for high-throughput applications
• Thermostable polycarbonate 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 (30 μL working volume)
• Barcoding available—all plates are available already barcoded and can be provided barcoded to customer specifications for fully-automated applications
• White plates are ideal for luminescence-based assays

Applications
• PCR
• qPCR/Real-Time PCR
