What Is PCR Plate

The PCR plate is a polymerase chain reaction (Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR) which is mainly used as a carrier for the primers involved in the amplification reaction, Taq DNA polymerase, dNTP, template nucleic acid, Mg, buffer, etc.

The PCR plate is mainly made of polypropylene (PP), which can better adapt to repeated high and low temperature settings during the PCR reaction, and can achieve high temperature and high pressure sterilization. In order to achieve high-throughput operation in conjunction with a row gun, PCR machine, etc., 96-well or 384-well PCR plates are more commonly used. The board type conforms to the SBS international standard, and in order to adapt to the PCR machines of different manufacturers, according to the skirt design, it can be divided into four design modes: no skirt, half skirt, raised skirt and full skirt.

The common colors of PCR plates are transparent and white, of which white is more suitable for new real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.

PCR plates are widely used in genetics, biochemistry, immunology, medicine and other fields. They are not only used in basic research such as gene isolation, cloning and nucleic acid sequence analysis, but also in the diagnosis of diseases or any place with DNA and RNA. It is a laboratory disposable Consumables.
