The Thermo Scientific 96-well Piko PCR Plates, white are a family of PCR plates which have the footprint of a microscope slide. We have not only shrunk the size of the plate, but dramatically reduced the thickness of the well walls utilizing our patented ultra-thin wall (UTW) technology.

Four plates can be snapped into a single frame producing the equivalent of a standard 384-well microplate.

Features

• Ultra Thin Wall (UTW) for fast PCR/qPCR applications
• Low profile
• Designed for use with the Piko and PikoReal 96-well thermal cyclers
• Plates can be snapped into the plate frame to create a standard 384-well plate
• Compatible with standard multi-channel pipettes and liquid-handling platforms
• Well spacing and footprint conform to industry (ANSI) dimensions

Applications

• qPCR/Real-Time PCR

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why should I use Thermo Scientific white plastics in qPCR?

White plates and tubes reflect significantly more signal back to the qPCR instrument's detector than traditional clear plates. The improved signal reflection ensures that even the lowest levels of fluorescence are detected. White well walls also prevent signal from passing through to the cycler block where it can be inconsistently reflected or absorbed. This keeps variations in the cycler block from affecting qPCR data. Using Thermo Scientific white PCR plastics increases sensitivity and reduces variability within the qPCR assay.

Are ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels compatible with real-time experiments?

Yes. All of the UTW plastics we provide are well suited for qPCR reactions.

Will ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels automatically speed up reactions on my conventional thermal cycler?

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.

Are ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels prone to break more often because of their thinner walls?

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.

Can I use lower volumes in my 96-well Piko PCR Plate than I could in a conventional 96-well microplate?

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.
