0.2 mL PCR Reaction Plates, PPC, Green — 214-3496-G80 | 10/Box | Caplugs® Evergreen

0.2 mL PCR 96-Well Reaction Plates — Polypropylene Copolymer, Green, 10/Box (214-3496-G80)

These 0.2 mL, 96-well PCR reaction plates are manufactured from virgin-grade Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) and supplied non-sterile in sealed 10/Box packaging for molecular biology and diagnostic workflows. The PPC construction offers enhanced flexibility compared to standard polypropylene, reducing the risk of well-to-well cracking during high-speed thermocycler runs while maintaining reliable sealing film adhesion across all 96 wells. The green color enables fast visual plate identification and sample batch differentiation when multiple plates are processed simultaneously.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• PCR and endpoint PCR amplification in standard 96-well thermocycler blocks
• Quantitative PCR (qPCR) with fluorescent detection platforms
• Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for RNA expression analysis
• High-throughput screening workflows requiring automated 96-well plate handling
• Molecular diagnostic assays in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-regulated laboratories requiring full lot traceability
• Color-coded batch management — green plates allow rapid visual separation of sample sets across multi-plate runs

Quality & Procurement

Made in USA at Caplugs® Evergreen's ISO-certified facilities, these plates are produced from FDA-registered, virgin-grade PPC resin that is BPA-free and phthalate-free. Lot-to-lot dimensional consistency ensures reliable fit in standard 96-well thermocycler block positions and uniform sealing film adhesion across the entire plate surface. Each box is sealed and labeled with lot number and manufacturing date to support full traceability in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited laboratories. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Caplugs® Evergreen dealer shipping from USA inventory, with volume pricing available for institutional purchasers and grant-funded research programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these PCR plates sterile?
No — part number 214-3496-G80 is supplied non-sterile. For the vast majority of PCR and qPCR workflows, non-sterile plates are appropriate because thermocycling conditions and the use of dedicated reagent-grade reagents control contamination; however, laboratories with specific sterility requirements should verify their protocol needs before ordering.

What is the advantage of Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) over standard polypropylene for PCR plates?
PPC incorporates a co-monomer that increases chain flexibility relative to homopolymer PP. In practice, this reduces micro-cracking at well edges during repeated thermal cycling and improves conformability against sealing films, helping to prevent evaporation and cross-contamination in long-run qPCR assays.

Will these plates fit my thermocycler?
These plates are designed for standard 96-well, 0.2 mL thermocycler block formats. Lot-to-lot dimensional controls ensure consistent skirt fit and well geometry. If your instrument uses a non-standard well pitch or a tall-well (0.2 mL low-profile vs. full-height) block, confirm block compatibility with your thermocycler manufacturer's specifications before switching from OEM plates.

Do these plates support lot traceability for regulated laboratories?
Yes — each box is labeled with a lot number and manufacturing date, providing the documentation chain required for CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 accreditation audits. LabSupplies.com can provide certificates of conformance upon request for regulated-environment procurement.
