Applied Biosystems 384 Well Plate Adapter for Viia7 Real Time PCR

Applied Biosystems 384-Well Block Adapter for ViiA 7 Real-Time PCR System (4457087)

The Applied Biosystems 384-Well Plate Adapter (4457087) is a precision-engineered thermal block accessory designed specifically for the Applied Biosystems ViiA 7 Real-Time PCR System (and compatible QuantStudio 7 Flex systems). Manufactured to strict optical and thermal tolerances, this adapter sits directly onto the system’s 384-well thermal block to ensure precise alignment, uniform heat transfer, and optimal contact between the block and standard 384-well reaction plates or microfluidic cards. By maintaining uniform surface tension and seating across all 384 wells, this component prevents plate warping, eliminates well-to-well thermal gradients, and optimizes optical excitation and emission collection during high-throughput quantitative PCR (qPCR) runs.

Technical Performance & Key Attributes

• Precision Thermal Conduction: Constructed from high-thermal-conductivity metal alloy to deliver rapid, uniform heat distribution across all 384 reaction positions during high-speed thermal cycling.
• Optical Alignment & Seating: Ensures standard 384-well microplates sit at the precise focal height required by the ViiA 7 system's OptiFlex optical system for accurate multi-color fluorescence detection.
• Interchangeable Block Architecture: Supports the ViiA 7 system's user-interchangeable block format, allowing rapid conversion between 96-well, 384-well, and TaqMan Array Card block configurations without technician calibration.
• Durable Laboratory Construction: Engineered to withstand repeated high-temperature thermal cycles (up to 100°C) and corrosive cleaning agents without warping or surface degradation.
