np X-Frame Plate
The np X-Frame PCR plates set new standards in laboratory work by combining highest quality with outstanding utility. Designed for the demanding conditions of modern research environments, they are characterized by exceptional robustness.

The core of our plates is an innovative frame made of polycarbonate, which not only guarantees extreme durability but also provides an absolutely flat and stable surface. This is crucial for precise handling, especially when used with automated liquid handling systems. The plates enable secure and error-free positioning by robots, eliminating any misalignment and optimizing your workflows.

The individual wells of the X-Frame plates are made of polypropylene, ensuring optimal heat transfer and maximum reaction efficiency. This leads to precise and reproducible results, strengthening confidence in your experiments. For applications like qPCR, special white wells are available that significantly enhance the fluorescence signal for even clearer and more exact measurements.

Another crucial advantage of the X-Frame PCR plates lies in their superior sealing capability. Thanks to the slightly raised well edges, an absolutely evaporation-proof seal can be achieved with various foils, adhesive films, or strip caps. This ensures the integrity of your valuable samples at all times, and losses due to evaporation become a thing of the past.

The X-Frame PCR plates are standardized according to ANSI/SBS standards, ensuring seamless integration into existing laboratory infrastructures and high compatibility. Furthermore, the available color variants facilitate the visual differentiation and organization of your samples and experiments, contributing to more efficient lab management.

Practical Use Cases: np X-FRAME PCR Plates

Application AreaOptimizing Lab Routine
Automation“Precision Handling”: Thanks to the rigid polycarbonate frame, the plates remain absolutely flat. This enables high-throughput systems and robots to achieve error-free gripping and pipetting without mechanical deformation.
qPCR Analysis“Signal Maximization”: Use of white wells to amplify the fluorescence signal. Interfering background signals are minimized, which increases measurement sensitivity, especially at low sample concentrations.
Sample Integrity“Evaporation Protection”: The slightly raised well rims create a perfect sealing surface for adhesive films and heat sealing. This effectively prevents sample loss through evaporation, even during long thermocycler protocols.
Visual Organization“Color-Coding by Project”: Use of different frame colors for immediate differentiation of various test series (e.g., yellow for screenings, blue for control series) without time-consuming reading of labels.
Thermal Management“Reaction Efficiency”: The thin-walled polypropylene wells ensure fast and uniform heat transfer from the thermal block to the sample, shortening PCR run times and increasing reproducibility.
Infrastructure Integration“System Compatibility”: Strict adherence to ANSI/SBS standards guarantees that np X-FRAME plates fit seamlessly into all common thermocyclers, centrifuges, and stacking systems.

Your Advantage in the Lab Routine
By combining two specialized materials – a robust polycarbonate frame and highly conductive polypropylene wells – np X-FRAME plates eliminate common sources of error such as plate warping or insufficient heat transfer. This saves valuable validation time and significantly increases process reliability in high-throughput analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about X-FRAME PCR Plates

What is the advantage of the two-component X-FRAME design?

The combination of a rigid polycarbonate frame and thin-walled polypropylene wells combines mechanical stability with excellent thermal function. The frame prevents warping at high temperatures, while the wells allow for rapid heat transfer.

Why should I use white wells for qPCR?

White wells reflect the fluorescence signal much better than transparent wells. This minimizes signal loss into the thermal block, increases the signal-to-noise ratio, and leads to more precise results in quantitative PCR.

What does "Low Profile" mean for PCR plates?

"Low Profile" plates have a shorter well height. This reduces the dead volume between the sample and the lid (airspace), which minimizes condensation and increases the efficiency of the PCR reaction, especially for small volumes.

Are the plates compatible with common sealing methods?

Yes, the plates feature slightly raised well rims (rimmed wells). These provide an optimal contact surface for adhesive seals and heat seals to prevent sample loss through evaporation.
