Frequently Asked Questions
What does the two-component Diamond Shell construction provide?
A rigid polycarbonate frame minimizes warping during thermal cycling, while polypropylene wells deliver low sample binding and uniform heat transfer. The combination improves seal integrity and dimensional stability in automated systems.
Which options include barcodes?
The Clear White (PCR-DS-384-CWBC) and Clear PP (PCR-DS-384-CBC) options ship barcoded for sample tracking. The remaining color-coded options are supplied without barcodes.
Are these plates compatible with standard 384-well thermal cyclers and sealing methods?
Yes. The SBS-standard footprint with A24 single-notch orientation fits common 384-well block cyclers, and the wells accept adhesive films and heat seals, which are sold separately.
Are these plates sterile or certified RNase/DNase-free?
The plates are supplied non-sterile. For specific purity certifications, contact our team and we will confirm available documentation directly with the manufacturer before order placement.
