PCR plates for robotic automation applications
S. Himmelstein | September 19, 2024Streamline laboratory workflows with the new Amplify Rigid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) plates from Alpha Laboratories Ltd. The dual polymer plates are engineered with a solid, flat surface composed of a polycarbonate frame for easy integration and interaction with automated liquid handling systems.
In addition to enabling robotic placement with precision, the PCR plates include polypropylene wells to facilitate optimal thermal transfer and deliver higher reaction efficiency with more accurate, reliable results. The slightly raised wells ensure an evaporation-proof seal with film, foil or strip caps to maintain sample integrity.
White well options enhance the fluorescence signal during PCR workflows by use of white well options, which provide clearer and more precise measurements. Additional color options are of value in visually differentiating between different samples or experimental setups for quick and efficient identification and organization.
Amplify Rigid PCR plates are available in 96 well, 384 well and barcoded options.
