Eppendorf is offering what is said to be the first two-component PCR plate designed to be easily divisible, allowing users to save material and money when running smaller-scale experiments.
These Twin.tec unskirted 96-well plates fit almost all available PCR instruments and can be snapped into four separate 24-well segments so that 24, 48 or 72 wells can be used as required and the empty wells saved for future use.
The frame is manufactured from rigid polycarbonate for enhanced mechanical stability, while the flexible polypropylene wells are thin-walled to ensure a snug fit to the thermal block for optimal heat transfer.
The inert surface of the wells prevents DNA, RNA and enzymes from binding and improves recovery when working with small volumes.
