To realize the time savings of the UTW plastics on conventional thermal cyclers, optimization of the protocol is required. This typically involves reducing hold times and changing the actual hold temperatures.

When used as instructed, these vessels are remarkably robust and can handle typical laboratory conditions, without fracturing or resulting in loss of volume. It is recommended that, when applying caps, a proper tray be used to protect the bottom of the tubes from excessive force that is typically used.

Yes. Typically, you should be able to use less than half the volume that you currently use on your conventional cycler and achieve equivalent or better results.

The frames for the Piko PCR Plates allow for easier handling and storage, particularly if you wish to use these plates in conjunction with laboratory equipment designed for microplates (such as centrifuges, plate readers or liquid handlers). Also, the frames allow the ability to stack the plates in a stable and compact fashion for archiving or storage.
