SELECTION GUIDE: 96-WELL PCR PLATES
White plates and tubes
- Direct significantly more signal back to the qPCR instrument's detector compared to traditional clear plates (the improved signal reflection ensures that even the lowest levels of fluorescence are detected)
- The white well walls stop the signal from passing through to the cycler block, where it can be inconsistently reflected or absorbed, leading to increased noise levels in detected fluorescence. This keeps variations in the cycler block from affecting qPCR data
- Our white PCR plastics increases sensitivity, reduces variability and increases the signal-to-noise ratio within the qPCR assay
These considerations also applicable to 8-strip wells and individual PCR tubes.
Standard-profile (full-height: around 21.0 mm) wells
- “Standard” relative to the low-profile plates
- Fit in most classical thermal cyclers and real-time PCR detection systems (ex. Bio-Rad's iCycler®, iQ™ series real-time PCR detection systems, and Applied Biosystems' regular PCR systems and DNA sequencers)
- Allow large reaction volumes
- Plates reduce risk-splashing caused by cross-over contamination, minimizing the risk of well-to-well cross contamination
**Please consult the manual of the PCR system, if necessary or ask us. Instruments with adjustable lids can usually use both standard-profile and low-profile wells. These instruments include Bio-Rad's 1000-series and DNA Engine® series thermal cyclers. **Some systems require standard profile or low-profile plates only.
These considerations also applicable to 8-strip wells and individual PCR tubes.
Semi-skirted plates
- More warp-resistant due to the rigidity provided by the skirt on the outer perimeter of the plate
- Plates also allow for labeling or barcoding
