The thin-walled tubes of EuroClone standard PCR plates maximise heat transfer and the raised rims facilitate sealing. The range consists of non-skirted, two semi-skirted and a fully skirted plate. The non-skirted plate is available also as Tear-A-Way™ PCR plate, a perforated version to allow easy division into strips.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
All plastic consumables are produced under clean-room conditions in modern injection moulding facilities. Particles, bacterial cells and other contaminants are filtered form the atmosophere. Products undergo a wide range of QC inspections during and after the production process. Visual and biological tests ensure both the absence of contaminants and the integrity of the products. In particular, the absence of nucleases (DNases and RNases) and pyrogens as well as human genomic DNA is verified by functional QC using quantitative PCR. LAL-assays are used to test raw materials and finished products for the presence of endotoxins.
Barcoding
All skirted and semi-skirted plates are available with linear barcodes for identification and traceability. The labels are highly scratch resistant and can withstand cold storage (-80°C) and solvents, such as DMSO. Either single or double barcodes are available.
