The Thermo Scientific 96-Well PCR Barcoded Plates, clear with clear wells, are the ultimate in high performance PCR plastics. Combining the rigidity of a polycarbonate frame with thin walled polypropylene wells, the Armadillo plate provides superior thermal cycling performance under all conditions without warping. These plates are designed for high-throughput, robotic PCR, and qPCR applications and feature a raised rim to improve seal integrity. They are available with both clear and white colored wells and with 128-industry standard barcoding.

Highlights

Optically clear skirt—Aids in visualization of liquids and improves stacking capabilities in automated handling systems
ANSI:SBS footprint—With rigidity of polycarbonate skirt, the ANSI footprint ensures complete compatibility with robotic systems for high throughput applications
Thermostable polycarbonate semi-skirted frame design—Warp-resistant thermal cycling and enhanced mechanical stability in robotic handling
Thin walled U-bottom wells—Optimal heat transfer and maximum sample recovery
Indented Alphanumeric Grid reference lettering—Integrated frame and well design for improved heat sealing
Low profile design—Allows for maximum heat transfer and minimal evaporation when utilizing low volume samples (200 μL working volume). Compatible with Roche LightCycler™ 480 Real-Time PCR systems
Available in both clear (BC2496[X]) and white (BC3496[X]) colored wells—Ensures the highest level of sensitivity for all PCR/qPCR reactions
Custom barcoding available—All plates can be provided barcoded to customer specifications for fully automated applications

Applications

• PCR
• qPCR/Real-Time PCR

Barcoding
The barcodes are the industry standard code 128. The label itself can withstand temperatures from -196°C up to 120°C to ensure that the barcodes stay on the plate throughout your entire workflow. It also has a special coating to virtually eliminate any ‘rubbing off' of the code during handling. The dual barcodes are located on the opposite numeric and opposite alpha sides of the plate.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

When should I use a Thermo Scientific low profile PCR plastic?

We recommend Thermo Scientific low profile PCR plates and tubes for reaction volumes below 20 µL. The low profile design minimizes the airspace between the PCR reaction and reduces evaporation effects, thereby increasing PCR efficiency in low volume reactions.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Real-Time PCR and Digital PCR Instruments Support Center.

What is a low profile Thermo Scientific plate/tube?

Low profile Thermo Scientific PCR plastics have shorter wells than the standard profile plastics, decreasing the “dead space” between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction.

Plate warping is causing problems with the robot in my automated processes. How can I solve this?

We recommend Thermo Scientific Armadillo PCR plates which are designed for robotic handling with high rigidity and resistance. Combining the rigidity of a polycarbonate frame with thin walled polypropylene wells, the Armadillo plates provide superior thermal cycling performance under all conditions without warping.

What are the barcodes formats used on standard barcoded Thermo Scientific PCR plates?

The barcode has been carefully designed and positioned for compatibility with all major barcode readers. Each barcode includes a human readable format as a back up to the standard 128 barcode to ensure valuable samples can always be identified. The barcode labels themselves are scratch resistant and able to withstand chemical exposure and wide temperature extremes from -196 degrees C to +120 degrees C.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics endotoxin-free?

They are not certified endotoxin-free. However, their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA.
