The strip frame format is the preferred configuration for partial-plate ELISA programs where running full 96-well plates wastes reagents and antibody-coated wells on small sample batches — load only the strips required for the day's run and return unused antibody-coated strips to cold storage, reducing per-sample reagent costs by 50–90% for low-throughput assay programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlack HIPS construction serves two functions: the high-contrast black frame minimizes optical well-to-well cross-talk in fluorescence strip assays, and HIPS's rubber-toughened matrix provides the autoclave compatibility (121°C) that standard PS strip frames lack — enabling sterilization between strip changes for contamination-sensitive cell-based strip assays. HIPS also withstands the mechanical forces of automated plate gripper arms without frame fracture, making it the preferred strip frame material for high-throughput automated screening environments where standard PS frames become brittle under repeated robotic handling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt $25.99 per 12\/Bag — $2.1652 per frame — the delivers reusable strip frame infrastructure at economics that support dedicated frame-per-assay workflows without single-use overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications — Caplugs® Evergreen \u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCaplugs Item #\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2908103Z1NE1\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e8-well strip frame, 12 strip positions\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eStrip Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12 × 8-well strips = 96 positions total\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHigh Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSBS Footprint\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eStandard 96-well SBS\/ANSI microplate footprint when fully loaded\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAutoclave\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e✓ Compatible (121°C \/ 15 psi)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eUV Decon.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e✓ Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12 \/ Bag\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eModular ELISA, PCR, assay strip-based workflows\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalate\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBPA-free; no phthalate plasticizers\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMade in U.S.A.
