Description

Low profile, 0.1 ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl; now also available as low binding plate with ultra-low DNA binding properties

The low profile wells of this plate are shorter than “standard” profile wells, which decrease the “dead space” between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample in the well. This eliminates condensation forming on the side wall of the tubes, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. This is especially recommended for reaction volumes below 20 µl.

The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR, and makes it ideal for use with robotic systems.

Recommended for low volume PCR

Rigid polycarbonate frame adds to the mechanical stability of the plate – as a result thermal expansion and sample evaporation is reduced significantly, leading to an improved consistency in PCR results

Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results

Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of frame

Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes

Ideal for use with robotic systems

<0.1 ml (100 µl) working volume, 0.2 ml (200 µl) total well capacity

7 frame colour options for the clear well variety – purple, blue, clear, green, red, black, and white

Also available as a black frame with white wells for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays and as a black frame with black wells for non-PCR fluorescent applications

Now available with an even more rigid skirt for use with Perkin-Elmer® Sciclone, Beckman, Hamilton, and other automation systems – eliminates the robotic grip picking up more than one plate at a time (4ti-0960/RIG)

Clear Polystyrene Lid available for 4ti-0960/RIG

Raised and colour differentiated grid reference to aid well and sample identification

Stackable

Available barcoded

Combi packs available (for 4ti-0960) with Q-Stick™ qPCR Seal (4ti-0565)

Now Available – Low Binding Plates with Ultra-Low DNA Binding Properties

Sensitive applications such as Next Generation Sequencing sample preparation applications demand the highest quality consumables. Low binding polypropylene tubes allow for multiple incubation and transfer steps without sample loss.

Polypropylene (PP) is the best plastic material for PCR tubes as it is chemically inert, resistant to solvents, and well suited for injection moulding – allowing for production of thin-walled tubes for optimum PCR results.

DNA has been shown to bind to PP tubes especially at high ionic strength, despite the very hydrophobic nature of this material. Different PP polymers are used for the production of PCR consumables and as they differ in their characteristics including surface charges, they consequently bind DNA in varying amounts.

DNA binding to PP surfaces has typically only been an issue for reaction tubes and storage vessels but not for PCR/qPCR tubes. DNA sticking to tube walls is either released during denaturation steps and/or remains accessible for amplification.

Nevertheless, due to a progressing volume miniaturisation and with new technologies such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), PCR/qPCR tubes are more and more also recommended for other applications which may require ultra-low DNA binding.

Plates of this design with ultra-low DNA binding properties are now available to order under the product code 4ti-LB0960/RIG.

Low-binding feature results from selected low-bind polymers, no coating is used to achieve the binding characteristics – No contamination or modification of the samples
Tested under a broad temperature range – Maximum DNA recovery after low temperature storage and high temperature incubation
No DNA loss during incubation steps and sample transfer in NGS sample prep and library construction – Ideally suited for sensitive applications with ultra-low DNA input

Now Available – Ethylene Oxide Treated Plates

Forensic applications demand the highest quality consumables. Avoiding external DNA contamination is of the utmost importance, and as a result high demands are placed upon manufacturers of products for use throughout the workflow.

At 4titude®, we have a stringently controlled cleanroom production facility certified, according to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, for production of DNA and RNA free products. Following cleanroom production, 4titude®’s consumables for forensic use are packed into ethylene oxide permeable bags and then subjected to ethylene oxide sterilisation. This 2-step processing ensures degradation of amplifiable DNA.

Plates of this design for forensic use are now available to order under the product code 4ti-OX960C/SBC.

Barcoding

This plate is available with linear Code 128-format barcodes to aid identification and traceability for your samples. To order your plates with barcodes, simply add /SBC to the end of the ordering code for Standard Single Barcoding, /DBC for Standard Double Barcoding, /TBC for Standard Triple Barcoding, or /QBC for Standard Quadruple Barcoding (see Barcoding for more details).
