Overview
  • Our FrameStar® Roche Style plates are designed to achieve optimized assay conditions on the Roche LightCycler® 96 and 480 (with 96 well block)
  • This particular style of plate is in a low profile 96-well format; perfect for reaction volumes of 10-100µl
  • The wells 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 20µl
  • The extra white wells allow for increased sensitivity in fluorescent assays
  • The semi-skirted frame allows for labeling or barcoding
