Minimizes absorption of reaction components.2Polycarbonate frame with polypropylene wellsSame polypropylene features but also contains arigid frame compatible with high-throughput roboticapplications.Understanding the Differences in PCR Plastics Format User Bulletin

PCR plastic formatsPCR plate formatsFrame colorAvailable in various colors to provide visual organization and identification of samples.Well color[1]Clear or coloredRecommended for end-point PCRapplications.White Ensures the highest level ofsensitivity for qPCR reactions. Recommended for low copynumber samples.[1]FrostedAlternative to white plastic forqPCR if the fluorescence detector isoversaturated.Refer to qPCR instrument manufacturer for recommendations on well color for proper plate calibration.Skirt typeSkirtedSemi-skirtedNon-skirted Full height panel surrounding theedge of the plate. Short panel around the edge ofthe plate. No panel surrounding the edgeof the plate. Fits securely over a thermalcycler with a raised block. Adequate support duringpipetting. Enhanced mechanical strengthfor use with robotic platforms. Mechanical strength for robotichandling. Fits the block of most thermalcyclers and real-time PCRinstruments.Understanding the Differences in PCR Plastics Format User Bulletin Not suitable for roboticapplications.3

PCR plastic formatsPCR plate formatsAutomation compatible Skirted and semi-skirted plates provide a necessary side surface for grippers to grasp. Polycarbonate-framed plates are able to withstand the forces exerted by grippers.Thermal block fit96-well 0.2 mL (standard profile) Most commonly used. 0.3 mL maximum well volume.96-well 0.1 mL (low profile/fast) Reduced height reducesevaporation and enhancesthermal conductivity. 0.2 mL maximum well volume.384-well Ideal for high-throughputapplications. 40 µL maximum well volume.Alphanumeric labelingPrintedHigh contrast, easy to read.Engraved/moldedMay improve sealing of the outer edges.Deck typeFlat Universal fit with most thermal cyclers. Facilitates sealing and handling.4Raised Required for some thermal cycler lids andinstruments. Balances lid pressure without the need for adapters.Understanding the Differences in PCR Plastics Format User Bulletin
