A Piko PCR Plate is a plate for PCR that is equivalent to one-fourth of a standard microplate and is equal to a microscope slide in footprint. These plates conserve all of the standard well-spacing and well-geometry of conventional microplates, e.g., a 96-well Piko PCR Plate has the same 4.5 mm pitch as most conventional 384-well microplates. Up to four Piko PCR Plates can be reversibly snapped into a frame to give the equivalent footprint of a conventional 96-well or 384-well microplate. Piko PCR Plates provide many advantages over traditional microplates: they are available at a lower cost, they accept lower reaction volumes, and require less storage space. In addition, many of the same types of advantages were incorporated in the instrumentation designed to use these plates: the thermal cycler has a smaller footprint, is less expensive, has higher thermal performance specifications, and consumes less power.
