Diamond Ultra™ 384-well PCR plate

Description

The ABgene Diamond Ultra is the 384-plate of choice for PCR and QPCR users. Constructed from a proprietary polymer that delivers unsurpassed rigidity, this revolutionary plate assures that low reaction volumes can be used without the added concern that plate warping leads to compromised seal integrity. In addition, the thin walled design still allows for the rapid and consistent heat transfer necessary to keep PCR applications efficient and accurate.

The Diamond Ultra is also available in opaque white, a colour proven to enhance QPCR sensitivity by more effectively containing and reflecting the fluorescent signal. The Diamond Ultra is also available with a barcoded option.

We recommend this plate for users of medium to high-throughput PCR applications that require accuracy and dependability. This plate is the only choice for PCR and QPCR users operating with robotic plate handling systems, and/or those that require improved rigidity.

Features

• Superior resistance to warping during thermal cycling to maintain consistent plate dimensions
• Ultimate rigidity for reliable performance in high-throughput robotic handling systems
• Ultra-strong seal integrity with heat or adhesive seals to safeguard against evaporation
• Decreased splash-back during pipetting for seamless liquid handling
• Uniform, thin-walled design to allow for optimal heat transfer
• ‘Diamond-like’ optically clear wells and skirt allow for quick and easy visual plate checks
• Compatible with all leading 384 block thermal cyclers
• Available with barcode 128 for use with ABI 7900HT and ABI 3730 instruments
• Available in white for QPCR (learn more about white plastics)
• Fully skirted and designed according to SBS footprint standards for robotic compatibility
• 40µl maximum well volume, 25µl working volume
• Cut-away corner for ease of plate orientation
