Frequently asked questions
Do these plates offer rapid thermal performance?
Yes, the Simport Amplate 96-Well PCR plates are specifically engineered for rapid and highly efficient thermal performance.
This superior thermal transfer is achieved through key design and material choices:
- Thin-Walled Construction: The precision-molded, thin-walled design maximizes the speed and efficiency of heat exchange between the thermal cycler block and your samples, which is crucial for successful PCR amplification.
- Superior Polypropylene Material: Made from high-quality polypropylene, these plates offer excellent thermal properties and are highly impermeable to water vapor. This helps maintain sample integrity throughout thermal cycling, surpassing the performance of standard polycarbonate alternatives.
- Precision Molding: The engineering ensures high well-to-well and plate-to-plate uniformity, guaranteeing reliable experimental results.
What is the nominal well volume?
The nominal volume for each of the 96 wells on the Amplate PCR plate is 100µl.
Key features related to the wells:
- They are thin-walled throughout for maximum thermal transfer efficiency.
- They are precision-molded to ensure exceptional well-to-well and plate-to-plate uniformity, crucial for reliable assay results.
Note: Variants with a 0.2mL volume are also available.
Are these thin-walled plates easy to seal?
Yes, these Simport Amplate plates are engineered for easy and efficient sealing.
- Simplified Design: The plate design ensures that no cylindrical walls extend above the surface, greatly streamlining the sealing process.
- Universal Compatibility: They are suitable for all standard sealing methods (films or foils) and support reliable, oil-free operation for PCR and qPCR workflows.
Do the plates offer easy sample tracking and orientation?
Yes, these plates include key features designed to streamline sample identification and ensure proper orientation during PCR workflows:
- Sample Tracking: Each plate incorporates an alphanumeric grid for precise well-to-well tracking.
- Labeling Space: Skirted configurations offer a dedicated, flat surface for applying bar codes and labels.
- Orientation Aid: To facilitate correct placement, some models feature a distinctive cut-away top-left corner as a clear guide.
What is the standard packaging configuration?
The Simport Amplate 96 PCR Plates are supplied in standardized packaging configurations for efficient laboratory stocking:
- Each individual bag contains 10 plates.
- The plates are sold in cases, available in two main sizes:
- 5-Bag Case: Contains a total of 50 plates (5 bags x 10 plates/bag).
- 10-Bag Case: Contains a total of 100 plates (10 bags x 10 plates/bag).
Do these plates offer superior thermal transfer?
Yes, the Simport Amplate 96-Well PCR plates are specifically engineered with a thin-walled design to maximize thermal transfer uniformity and efficiency, which is critical for accurate PCR and qPCR applications.
Key features ensuring superior thermal performance include:
- Thin-Walled Construction: The precision-molded design allows for rapid and efficient heat exchange across all 96 wells during thermal cycling.
- Premium Polypropylene Material: They are constructed entirely from polypropylene, which is impermeable to water vapor. This superior material minimizes evaporation and helps preserve sample integrity, outperforming standard polycarbonate alternatives.
- Precision and Uniformity: The plates are precision-molded to guarantee high well-to-well and plate-to-plate consistency, ensuring reliable experimental results.
- Optimized for Sealing: The design is easy to seal and is compatible with all oil-free sealing methods, supporting efficient high-throughput operation.
What colors and configurations are available?
The Simport Amplate 96-Well PCR Plates are constructed from thin-walled polypropylene to ensure rapid thermal transfer efficiency. They are available in a variety of colors and configurations optimized for specific experimental needs and equipment compatibility.
Available Options
Colors for Identification and Light Sensitivity:
- Natural (Translucent)
- Color-Coded Options: Blue, Green, Pink, and Yellow, allowing for easy sample segregation and tracking.
- Opaque Options: Black and White, which are highly beneficial for light-sensitive assays (e.g., fluorescence or chemiluminescence) requiring light protection or optimal reflectivity.
Configurations for Compatibility and Usability:
- Plate Height: Available in Standard and Low Profile options to ensure compatibility with different thermal cyclers.
- Skirt: Options include Skirted plates, which offer an ample perimeter for bar coding and labeling, greatly enhancing sample tracking in high-throughput systems. Unskirted (Standard) options are also available.
Do the skirted plates offer a surface for labeling and barcoding?
Yes, the skirted versions of these PCR plates have a skirt around the perimeter that provides a surface for labeling and barcoding. This helps with sample tracking and organization.
Do these plates offer high well uniformity?
Yes, these Simport Amplate 96 plates are engineered for excellent consistency crucial for reliable thermal cycling results.
The plates are precision-molded to ensure high uniformity:
- Well-to-Well Uniformity: Guarantees consistent reaction conditions across all 96 wells.
- Plate-to-Plate Uniformity: Ensures reliable and reproducible results when processing multiple plates.
This precision molding also supports oil-free operation and compatibility with all standard sealing methods.
Where are these PCR plates made?
The country of origin for the Simport Amplate 96-Well PCR plates varies. Depending on the specific variant and inventory item selected, the plates are manufactured in either Canada or the US.
