Porvair PCR plates certified free of pyrogens

Porvair Sciences has announced a range of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) plates manufactured from medical-grade polymer under Class 10,000 clean-room conditions.

The range of 11 plates is certified free of pyrogens as well as DNAse and RNAse enzyme activity enabling optimised PCR results.

High-sample integrity is ensured through use of solvent-resistant polymers to minimise leachates and a well design where the liquid meniscus comes below the plate surface, eliminating sample carryover problems when using a plate lid.

The 96-well and 384-well PCR plates are designed to fit most thermocyclers and sequencers on the market.

A selection of standard or low-profile 96-well PCR plates are available in specific optimised formats (full, half or no skirt), with well volumes of 100-200 microlitres.

Designed for higher throughput assays, where samples are often at a premium, Porvair 384-well PCR plates offer a working well volume of 30 microlitres.

To ensure full compatibility with robotic systems, the 384-well PCR plates offer a full plate skirt and high rigidity to minimise distortion before and after thermal cycling.

Black alphanumeric printing on all PCR plates ensures easy well identification.

The plates are available in bulk packs of 50 individually wrapped plates.

Porvair Sciences said the 96-well and 384-well PCR plates reduce the cost of PCR analysis without compromising performance.
