The Thermo Scientific Piko PCR Plates are a family of PCR plates which have the footprint of a microscope slide. We have not only shrunk the size of the plate, but dramatically reduced the thickness of the well walls utilizing our patented ultra-thin wall (UTW) technology.
Highlights
• Ultra Thin Wall (UTW) for fast PCR/qPCR applications
• Low profile
• Designed for use with the Piko and PikoReal 24-well thermal cyclers
• Plates can be snapped into the plate frame to create a standard 96-well plate
• Compatible with standard multi-channel pipettes and liquid-handling platforms
• Well spacing and footprint conform to industry (ANSI) dimensions
Applications
• PCR
• qPCR/Real-Time PCR
Ultra-Thin Wall Dimensional Data
Shown is a cross section of the ultra-thin wall of a UTW 96-well tube as compared with the three competitors. The UTW vessel wall is roughly half the thickness of the competitors, resulting in optimal thermal transfer to the sample.
Ultra-Thin Wall Tube Concentricity
UTW well walls are much thinner and remarkably concentric. Two wells from various 96-well microplates were cut to reveal a cross-sectional view of the walls. Note the non-uniform (as indicated by arrows) and thick walls of the competitor "thin-walled" plates.
Concentricity measures the thickness of the wall at various points (4 in this case) along the circumference of the tube
UTW vessels offer highly concentric walls within the thinnest portion of the tubes
UTW vessels offer 3x to 20x more concentricity than the competition
