Frequently Asked Questions About Storage PCR Plates

What is a storage PCR plate?

A storage PCR plate is a specialised type of plate designed for use in PCR and qPCR applications. These plates are compatible with most thermal cyclers and are specifically crafted to store samples securely.

Storage PCR plates often feature clear, thin-walled wells which enhance sample visibility, allowing for easy monitoring and analysis. The design of these plates ensures that they can maintain the integrity of samples over time, making them ideal for both short-term and long-term storage under various laboratory conditions.

What is the best way to seal PCR plates?

The best way to seal PCR plates is through the use of adhesive or heat seals, depending on your specific requirements and the nature of your experiments.

Adhesive films are a quick and convenient option, providing a secure seal to prevent sample evaporation and contamination. They are particularly suitable for low-throughput applications and can be easily applied and removed.

For higher throughput settings or when dealing with more sensitive assays, heat sealing is recommended. Heat sealing equipment uses precise temperature control to bond a film over the plate, creating a tight seal that is more durable and resistant to evaporation and cross-contamination. This method is ideal for long-term storage and high-temperature applications.

Both methods ensure the integrity and stability of your samples during PCR and qPCR applications.

What are the different types of PCR plates?

PCR plates are designed to meet varied experimental demands, differentiated by features like well-volume, well bottoms and configuration. Standard PCR plates usually have 200-300 microliter wells and come in 96-well or 384-well formats for typical or high-throughput applications, respectively.

Low-profile PCR plates feature reduced well volumes to enhance thermal cycling efficiency, while skirted and semi-skirted PCR plates offer stability and ease of use with automation systems.

Deep-well plates are suitable for larger volume needs and are useful in the preparatory stages of experiments. Each type is optimised for compatibility with different thermal cyclers, ensuring researchers can select the ideal plate based on specific needs such as well volume, thermal efficiency, and laboratory workflow requirements.
