Thermo Scientific Abgene PCR Microplate 96 Well - 35 Microplates

Thermo Scientific Abgene 96-Well Low-Profile Full-Skirted PCR Microplate – Barcoded, Polypropylene, Clear Wells, ANSI/SLAS Footprint, Automation Compatible (MPN: BC0800)

The Thermo Scientific Abgene BC0800 (also cataloged as Thermo Fisher BC0800) is a high-performance, 96-well full-skirted PCR microplate specifically engineered for thermal cycling, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and high-throughput automated laboratory workflows. Manufactured from high-purity, ultra-clear virgin polypropylene in a Class 100,000 cleanroom environment, this plate features a low-profile well design that minimizes dead space between the sample and the heated lid of the thermal cycler. This design significantly reduces reaction evaporation, eliminates condensation on well walls, and maximizes PCR efficiency for low-volume reaction mixtures (working volumes up to 100 µL). Outfitted with a pre-applied, scratch-resistant barcode, full robotic gripping skirts, and a cut-corner at location H1, the BC0800 delivers seamless, error-free integration across liquid handling systems, microplate readers, and automated thermocyclers.

Technical Performance and Structural Design

• Low-Profile Dead Space Reduction: Shorter well geometry decreases the air space above reaction volumes, reducing vapor condensation and thermal gradient losses, making it ideal for low-volume PCR routines (< 20 µL).

• Full-Skirted Automation Footprint: The rigid outer skirt provides a full 360-degree gripping boundary for robotic arms, ensuring smooth plate transport, stacker alignment, and resistance against thermal warping during repeated cycling.

• Integrated Scratch-Resistant Barcode: Pre-labeled with high-contrast, chemical- and cold-resistant barcodes capable of withstanding extreme temperature ranges (-196 C to +120 C) for reliable sample tracking in LIMS workflows.

• Thin-Wall Thermal Uniformity: Precision-molded thin well walls ensure fast, even thermal transfer across all 96 wells, minimizing edge effects and delivering consistent amplification results.

• Raised Well Rims: Raised rims around each individual well optimize surface contact when heat sealing or applying adhesive films, preventing cross-well contamination and sample evaporation.
