Applied Biosystems Microplate 96 Well with Barcode Sealed 20 Plates

The Applied Biosystems 4346906 is a high-performance 96-well microplate specifically engineered for "Fast" Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) protocols. This 0.1 ml reaction plate features a low-profile design that reduces the dead space between the sample and the heated lid, significantly improving thermal transfer and minimizing evaporation. Constructed from high-purity medical-grade polypropylene, it is designed to withstand the rapid thermal cycling required for high-speed DNA amplification, providing consistent and reproducible results for genomic research and molecular diagnostics.

Technical Performance and Design

• Fast-Cycling Optimization: The low-profile (0.1 ml) well design is optimized for "Fast" thermal cyclers, allowing for shorter run times and higher throughput compared to standard 0.2 ml plates.

• Superior Thermal Conductivity: Features thin-wall construction to ensure rapid and uniform heat transfer across all 96 wells, reducing "edge effects" and improving well-to-well consistency.

• High-Contrast Alphanumeric Grid: Includes bold, black-printed coordinates (A-H, 1-12) to facilitate easy sample identification and reduce pipetting errors during manual or automated plate loading.

• Raised Well Rims: Designed with slightly elevated rims around each well to provide an enhanced surface for secure sealing with optical films or caps, preventing cross-contamination and sample loss.
