0.2 mL PCR Reaction Plates, PPC, Yellow — 214-3496-Y80 | 10/Box | Caplugs® Evergreen

0.2 mL 96-Well PCR Reaction Plates — Polypropylene Copolymer, Yellow, 10/Box (214-3496-Y80)

These 96-well PCR reaction plates deliver 0.2 mL per well in a standard thermocycler-compatible format, constructed from yellow polypropylene copolymer (PPC) for enhanced flexibility and reliable sealing film adhesion across all 96 wells. Supplied non-sterile in sealed 10/Box packaging, part number 214-3496-Y80 is suited to PCR, qPCR, reverse transcription PCR, and high-throughput molecular workflows where consistent well geometry and lot-to-lot dimensional repeatability are critical. The yellow color provides instant visual plate identification for batch differentiation in multi-plate thermocycler runs.

LabSupplies.com is an authorized Caplugs® Evergreen dealer shipping from USA inventory, with tiered pricing available for high-volume institutional and grant-funded accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these PCR plates sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For most PCR and molecular biology applications this is standard practice, since PCR reagents and master mixes do not require sterile plasticware; however, if your protocol demands sterile plates, please contact us before ordering.

Will these plates seal properly with standard PCR adhesive films and foils?
Yes. The 96-well PPC construction is dimensionally consistent with standard plate formats, ensuring reliable adhesion with common heat-seal and pressure-sensitive adhesive sealing films designed for 96-well PCR plates.

What advantage does polypropylene copolymer (PPC) offer over standard polypropylene (PP)?
PPC provides greater flexibility than standard PP homopolymer, which reduces the risk of well-to-well cracking during rapid thermal cycling and helps maintain a uniform seal across all 96 wells — particularly valuable in high-speed or wide temperature-range thermocycler protocols.

Is the yellow color functional, or purely aesthetic?
The yellow color serves a practical purpose: it allows lab personnel to differentiate sample batches or experimental replicates at a glance in multi-plate workflows, reducing the risk of plate mix-ups during loading, sealing, and post-run analysis without any additional labeling.
