Eppendorf twin.tec PCR plates

Eppendorf’s two-component PCR plate has been designed to be easily divisible, saving material and money when running smaller-scale experiments. The twin.tec unskirted 96-well plates fit almost all available PCR instruments and can be snapped into four separate 24-well segments and the empty wells saved for future use.

Frequently users do not fill up an entire 96-well PCR plate. Leaving the remaining wells empty is a waste of material and money and cutting PCR plates into pieces with scissors seemed an inappropriate solution. This divisible two-component PCR plate solves this problem. The 96-well plates can simply be snapped into predefined segments so that 24, 48 or 72 wells can be used as required - reducing waste and bringing significant cost savings.

The PCR plates bring all the advantages that come from combining two materials. The frame is manufactured from rigid polycarbonate for enhanced mechanical stability, while the flexible polypropylene wells are thin-walled to ensure a snug fit to the thermal block for optimal heat transfer. The inert surface of the wells prevents DNA, RNA and enzymes from binding and improves recovery when working with small volumes.
