Fisherbrand PCR Microplate 96 Well 0.2 ml Skirted Red PP Pack of 25 Plates

Fisherbrand 14230238 PCR Microplate – 96-Well, Skirted, 0.2 mL, Red

The Fisherbrand 14230238 is a high-performance 96-well microplate engineered specifically for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and automated high-throughput screening applications. Molded from premium virgin polypropylene in a distinctive red color, it provides exceptional thermal transfer efficiency while preventing the adsorption of nucleic acids or proteins to the well walls. This plate features a fully skirted, low-profile design, which provides the structural rigidity required for automated plate grippers and stackers without warping or bending during extreme thermal cycling. Each 0.2 mL well is equipped with a raised rim, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal when used with adhesive films, heat seals, or cap strips. Produced in a certified cleanroom environment, the 14230238 arrives free of DNase, RNase, human DNA, and endotoxins, guaranteeing absolute sample integrity for sensitive molecular assays.

Technical Performance and Design

• Fully Skirted Architecture: The solid perimeter skirt completely surrounds the plate, providing a highly stable footprint for robotic handling, preventing mechanical warping during thermal cycling, and offering a flat surface for custom barcode labeling.

• Low-Profile / Raised Rim: The low-profile design minimizes the "dead volume" airspace above the sample, reducing evaporation. The uniformly raised rims around each well actively prevent well-to-well cross-contamination and ensure secure, flat sealing.

• Virgin Polypropylene Construction: Provides rapid, uniform heat transfer across all 96 wells for precise PCR amplification, while ensuring broad chemical resistance and zero DNA/RNA binding.

• Visual Orientation: Features a high-contrast alphanumeric grid molded into the top deck and a distinct cut-away corner (indexing corner) for immediate visual orientation and correct plate-reader alignment.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Automated Workflows: The rigid skirt is specifically designed to interface flawlessly with automated liquid handling robots, plate stackers, and automated thermal cyclers without catching or jamming.

• High-Throughput PCR: The universally compatible SBS footprint ensures this plate fits standard thermal cycler blocks, making it ideal for routine genotyping, cloning, and endpoint PCR.

• Color-Coded Organization: The red pigmentation allows laboratories running multiple simultaneous projects or multi-step assays to easily color-code their plates to prevent mix-ups during batch processing.

• Secure Sealing: The raised rims provide the necessary pressure points for heat sealers and adhesive foils to create an impenetrable barrier, protecting samples from evaporation during high-heat cycles.
