Why Choose FrameStar® PCR Plates?
Superior Thermal Stability
These plates are engineered to ensure exceptional thermal stability, a critical factor in PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) processes. The unique two-component design of the plates plays a vital role in maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the PCR cycle, thereby preventing sample loss. This design includes:
- Thin Wall Polypropylene Tubes: These tubes provide optimal conditions for PCR reactions, ensuring efficient amplification of DNA.
- Rigid Polycarbonate Skirt and Deck: The robust construction offers high stability, reducing the risk of deformation and ensuring accurate thermal transfer.
Advantages of the Two-Component Design
One of the common challenges in PCR experiments is sample evaporation, especially from corner positions and outer wells. FrameStar® PCR plates address this issue effectively, providing minimal evaporation and thus maintaining the integrity of your samples. This feature is particularly advantageous for researchers aiming to:
- Reduce Reagent Volumes: By minimizing evaporation, these plates allow for downsizing the volume of reagents used in experiments. This not only conserves valuable reagents but also significantly cuts down costs.
- Enhance Experiment Reliability: With reduced evaporation, the consistency and reliability of experimental results are greatly improved.
Compared to a standard polypropylene plate, the FrameStar plate will not warp and expand during rapid heating and cooling. This means the integrity of seals will remain consistent, reducing sample evaporation. As a result, researchers can spend less on expensive reagents, retaining more sample during the PCR process.
Versatile Format Options
FrameStar® PCR plates are available in multiple formats to suit various experimental needs. The 96-well PCR plates come in both low and standard (high profile) configurations, with a variety of skirt lengths (non-skirted, semi-skirted, and fully skirted). Additionally, FrameStar® plates are available in a 384-well format, making them suitable for high-throughput applications.
Divisible FrameStar® PCR Plates
For researchers requiring flexibility, Azenta Life Sciences offers divisible FrameStar® PCR plates. These plates provide the convenience of tube strips in a plate format, allowing them to be easily divided into smaller sections. This ensures no tubes are wasted, offering all the flexibility needed for diverse experimental setups.
Cost-Effective Research Solutions
The innovative design of FrameStar® PCR plates not only enhances performance but also contributes to cost savings. By ensuring minimal sample loss and evaporation, researchers can achieve accurate results with smaller volumes of reagents. This efficiency translates to lower costs in terms of both materials and time, making FrameStar® PCR plates a smart investment for any laboratory focused on optimizing their research budget.
