Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the launch of the Thermo Scientific ABgene Diamond Ultra 384-well PCR plate, designed for error-free robotic handling.
The company said the ultra-rigid 384-well PCR plate is less likely to warp, reducing the likelihood of system jamming.
The polymer used in the manufacture of the ABgene Diamond Ultra PCR plate is warp resistant, ensuring consistent plate dimensions during thermal cycling and eliminating problems when removing plates from thermal cyclers.
Thermo Fisher Scientific said the strength of the polymer also contributes to maintaining the integrity of the seal, reducing evaporation and ensuring consistent optimal performance.
The well design, combined with the properties of the polymer, lessens splash-back during pipetting steps to ensure problem-free liquid handling.
Furthermore, each well has uniform, thin walls to allow for rapid and consistent heat transfer and a 'diamond-like' clarity for quick and easy visual plate checks.
The plate is also available in opaque white for enhanced sensitivity in quantitative PCR (QPCR) applications.
Diamond Ultra 384-well PCR plates are manufactured to high standards in a clean-room environment, eliminating the need for sterilisation prior to use.
Each batch is certified free from DNase, RNase and genomic/human DNA and is application tested according to stringent quality control protocols.
Thermo Scientific ABgene Diamond Ultra 384-well PCR plates are available in boxes of 50 plates.
They are also available barcoded.
