Thermo Fisher Scientific's ABgene Fast Block PCR Plate is now available with barcoding to enhance sample tracking in automated and semi-automated fast PCR workflows.
The barcode (code 128) is said to be ideally located for PCR platforms with barcode readers and offers resistance to extremes of temperature and to chemical exposure. Barcodes are therefore able to endure both the heat cycling required in PCR cycling and freezing conditions associated with plate storage. Together with clear, alphanumeric grid referencing, this ensures that valuable PCR and qPCR samples are protected and easily located.
The semi-skirted, low profile ABgene Fast PCR Plate is compatible with all major fast block PCR and qPCR platforms and the thin-walled design ensures maximum heat transfer during the fast PCR cycle, ensuring consistent and reliable results, the company says.
