This blue, semi-skirted Eppendorf twin.tec 96 PCR plate is manufactured utilizing “twin-shot technology,” an innovative injection mold process. This unique method combines two of the best performing materials: virgin polypropylene is used for the wells; polycarbonate, an especially rigid material, forms the plate deck and skirt. Polypropylene provides the best inert, nonwetting surface that prevents DNA, RNA, and enzymes from binding, and it improves recovery from wells even when working with minute volumes. Polycarbonate provides mechanical stability, and it facilitates handling of the plates. The enhanced stiffness offers improved plane parallelism in the plate deck before, during, and after a PCR, and it ensures a more secure seal. Bending or curving of the skirt is virtually eliminated, making twin.tec PCR plates the ideal choice for use with automation or robotics. The Eppendorf twin.tec PCR plate also offers a 20% reduction in wall thickness compared to standard thin-walled tubes. This provides a snug fit for the well against thermal blocks, and it ensures virtually undisturbed heat transfer from the block to the sample. Raised well rims optimize sealing effectiveness and reduce the risk of cross-contamination. All commonly used sealing methods-cap strips, adhesive films, and foils-can be applied to Eppendorf twin.tec PCR plates for heat sealing and ultimate protection against evaporation. Color: blue; colorless wells. Type: 96-well plate, semi-skirted. Eppendorf #: 951020362.
