96 well non-skirted PCR plates breakable horizontally or vertically allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of a PCR plate. Avoid the costly use of half-empty plates or the fiddly separation of plates with scissors. Scissors are widely used by everyone in the lab for cutting diverse materials, so are typically highly contaminated with substances including bacteria and DNA. Cutting plates with scissors should be avoided as it can perforate wells and damage sealing rings, risking evaporation and sample contamination. Based on the 96 well non-skirted PCR plate, they can be quickly and easily divided along the perforations between the rows. They maintain all benefits of the 96 well non-skirted PCR plates, but add extra flexibility. The correct number of wells can be separated off for each experiment, saving time and costs. The plate is available perforated either vertically, tearing into 8 well strips (96/8), or horizontally, tearing into 12 well strips (96/12).

All Azenta Life Sciences PCR plates are moulded from virgin polypropylene under ISO certified cleanroom conditions in a UK based production facility, and as such comply with the same stringent requirements as the FrameStar® range. This plate is perforated under the same cleanroom conditions post-manufacture so it can be separated into part plates or individual strips of tubes.

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Non-skirted plates: universal cycler and sequencer compatibility
• Alphanumeric grid reference on all strips: no sample identification errors
• Working volume: ﹤200µL, total well capacity: 300µL
• Plate is perforated to enable accurate tearing into 8 well or 12 well strips: no tricky cutting of plates with scissors, risking perforated wells, damaging sealing rings, and contamination
• Cut corner H12
• Allows for the most flexible and efficient use of a PCR plate: no need to run half-empty plates, so reducing costs
• Snaps into strips for lower throughput: cost effective
• The 96/8 8 well version (PCR1060 & PCR1062) is easily divided into 24 and 48-well plates to fit a 24 or 48-well thermal cycler block
• The 96/12 12 well version (PCR1064) is perfectly suited for gradient cyclers
• White version (PCR1062) available for superior qPCR performance
