Design & Configuration Options

(Available depending on application and instrument compatibility)

Plate Format

  • Skirted – Provides enhanced rigidity and is suitable for automated handling systems.

  • Semi-skirted – Reduced overall height while maintaining compatibility with selected automation platforms.

  • Non-skirted – Compact design for space-constrained setups and specific thermal cycler models.

Color Options

  • Transparent polypropylene – Suitable for standard PCR workflows and applications requiring visual inspection from the bottom.

  • White polypropylene – Optimized for optical detection by enhancing signal reflection during fluorescence-based measurements.

Well & Rim Design

  • Flat rim – Compatible with standard sealing films and foils.

  • Raised / enhanced rim – Provides increased contact area for sealing films, helping reduce evaporation and cross-well contamination risks.

Sealing Compatibility

Compatible with commonly used sealing solutions, including:

  • Optical sealing films

  • Aluminum sealing foils

  • Heat-sealing films (format-dependent)

Note: When using heat-sealing films, sealing parameters should be matched to the plate material to avoid deformation or insufficient sealing.

Packaging

Standard packaging formats may include:

  • 10 plates per pack

  • 20 plates per pack

  • Bulk packaging for routine laboratory use

Packaging configurations can be adjusted to support inventory management and procurement practices.

Professional Notes

  • PCR plates are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene suitable for thermal cycling workflows.

  • Consistent well geometry and controlled molding tolerances are maintained across standard production batches.

  • Plate dimensions are designed to align with commonly used ANSI/SBS standards for PCR applications.

  • For workflows involving specific thermal cycler models or automated systems, configuration compatibility should be confirmed prior to ordering.

Configuration Availability & Scope Clarification

The specifications above summarize the standard PCR plate configurations offered for routine amplification workflows.

PCR plates are supplied as standard in polypropylene (PP), which is widely used for thermal cycling applications due to its thermal stability and chemical compatibility.

Variations in plate design—such as skirt configuration, color, rim design, sealing compatibility, or packaging format—may be discussed for specific applications or instrument requirements upon request.

Plates with working volumes ≥1.0 mL, deep-well designs, or plates intended for chemical-resistant storage or sample preparation are not part of the standard product range.
For such requirements, please contact us to discuss availability and application details.

FAQ

What PCR plate formats are available?

PCR plates are available in standard 96-well and 384-well formats, suitable for routine PCR amplification workflows.

What does “skirted” or “non-skirted” mean for PCR plates?

Skirted plates provide enhanced rigidity and handling stability, while non-skirted plates have a compact footprint suited for specific thermal cyclers. Semi-skirted designs offer a balance between the two.

Are PCR plates compatible with sealing films and foils?

Yes. PCR plates are compatible with commonly used adhesive sealing films, optical films, and aluminum foils, depending on the selected configuration.

Q4: How should I choose the right PCR plate configuration?

Selection should be based on thermal cycler compatibility, throughput needs, sealing method, and handling preferences, ensuring smooth integration into existing laboratory workflows.
