0.1 & 0.2 mL 96-Well Half-Skirt PCR Plates, Clear Polypropylene, 50/Case
The Globe Scientific Half-Skirt 96-Well PCR Plate is a clear, thin-wall polypropylene plate engineered for rapid, uniform heat transfer across endpoint PCR, qPCR, and high-throughput nucleic acid amplification. Its half-skirt format balances rigidity for robotic handling with easy manual tube-strip compatibility, and the standard SBS footprint drops into common thermal cyclers and automation decks. ===Technical Specifications===

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL versions?
The 0.2 mL plate (PCR-HS-02) suits standard-block thermal cyclers and larger reaction volumes, while the 0.1 mL plate (PCR-HS-01) is optimized for low-volume, fast-cycling qPCR instruments that use 0.1 mL well blocks.
Are these plates compatible with sealing films and cap strips?
Yes. The open-top wells accept adhesive sealing films, heat-sealable foils, and standard 8-well domed or flat cap strips, giving flexibility for both endpoint and optical qPCR workflows.
Do the half-skirt plates fit automated liquid handlers?
They conform to the SBS/ANSI footprint, so they seat on common robotic decks and gripper systems. The half-skirt rim adds rigidity for automated transfer without the full-skirt height.
Are the plates sterile or certified DNase/RNase-free?
These plates are supplied non-sterile in clear virgin polypropylene with low nucleic acid binding. For documentation needs, request the manufacturer specification sheet through our procurement team.
