Key Features & Benefits:

1. Superior Temperature Accuracy and Uniformity:
   • Optimized for oil-free PCR amplification, ensuring consistent, reliable performance without the need for oil overlay, which can be cumbersome and messy.
   • The unique design of the plate ensures well-to-well temperature uniformity, critical for achieving accurate and consistent PCR results.
2. Frosted Wells:
   • The frosted wells help minimize the interference of fluorescence during cycling, leading to improved signal detection during real-time PCR amplification.
   • Screened to eliminate auto-fluorescent plates, which could otherwise affect the accuracy of PCR results by introducing background fluorescence.
3. Oil-Free PCR Amplification:
   • Specifically designed for oil-free PCR amplification, making it an ideal choice for laboratories seeking high-performance PCR without the hassle of using oil to prevent evaporation.
4. Certified DNA/RNase-Free:
   • The plates are certified DNA/RNase-free, making them suitable for genetic analysis, PCR, and qPCR applications where contamination with nucleases could interfere with the reaction.
5. Compatibility:
   • Fully compatible with Thermal Cyclers, Genetic Analyzers, and DNA Analyzers, this versatile plate is perfect for a wide range of applications including real-time PCR, qPCR, and traditional PCR.
   • Ideal for use in 96-well real-time PCR systems for gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and genomic studies.
6. Material and Construction:
   • Made from durable polypropylene, providing high thermal stability and durability during PCR cycles, ensuring reliable and consistent performance over time.
7. Volume Specifications:
   • Volume per well: 0.3 mL (maximum capacity)
   • Working volume: 0.2 mL, ideal for typical PCR and qPCR assays.
8. Skirt Style:
   • The plate has a semi-skirted design, offering compatibility with automation systems and making it easy to handle during setup and transportation.
