Globe Scientific 96-Well Low-Profile PCR Plates, 0.1–0.2mL Polypropylene, Half & Full Skirt — 3 Colors, 50/Case
The Globe Scientific 96-Well Low-Profile PCR Plates deliver consistent thin-wall thermal transfer for endpoint PCR, real-time qPCR, and high-throughput nucleic acid amplification. Molded from virgin polypropylene in a standard SBS footprint, each plate fits common block cyclers and automated liquid handlers. White options boost fluorescence signal; the clear FAST plate suits visual setup and rapid cycling protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose white versus clear PCR plates?
White wells reflect emitted light back toward the detector, improving fluorescence signal in qPCR. Clear plates aid visual confirmation of fill volumes and bubbles during manual setup, making them well suited to the FAST half-skirt option.
What is the difference between half-skirt and full-skirt plates?
Half-skirt plates suit many block cyclers and LightCycler-style instruments while allowing easier manual handling. Full-skirt plates offer maximum rigidity and stability for robotic decks and automated sealing operations.
Are these plates compatible with adhesive and heat seals?
Yes. The open-top wells accept adhesive films, heat seals, and matched cap strips. The ridged-rim clear plate is engineered for secure film adhesion and reliable evaporation control during cycling.
What sealing temperature range do these plates tolerate?
Polypropylene withstands standard thermal cycling and heat-sealing temperatures used in PCR and qPCR workflows. Always confirm settings against your sealer and cycler manufacturer specifications for the specific film used.
