Frequently Asked Questions About Skirted Microplates

What is a skirted microplate?

A skirted microplate is a specialised laboratory consumable featuring a reinforced outer rim, known as a skirt, which adds structural stability and is compatible with automation equipment. Widely used in biology and various types of experiments, including PCR (thermal cycling), cell culture, and development of biological assays, skirted microplates come in different well formats and volumes to support a broad range of scientific research. Their design ensures durability and facilitates handling, making them essential for high-throughput testing and analysis in diverse experimental settings.

What is a skirted PCR plate?

A skirted PCR plate is a type of PCR plate designed with an extended rim, or "skirt," around the edges, enhancing its rigidity and stability. This feature makes it suitable for use in automated laboratory equipment and thermal cyclers without the need for additional support. Skirted PCR plates are essential in molecular biology for high-throughput PCR applications, as they prevent contamination, facilitate easy handling, and allow for clear labelling. They come in various formats, accommodating different volumes and numbers of wells to meet the diverse needs of PCR amplification processes.
