Overview

Tear-A-Way™ plates allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of a PCR plate
Avoid the costly use of half-empty plates or the fiddly separation of plates with scissors
Scissors are widely used by everyone in the lab for cutting diverse materials, so are typically highly contaminated with substances including bacteria and DNA
Cutting plates with scissors should be avoided as it can perforate wells and damage sealing rings, risking evaporation and sample contamination
Based on our 96 Well Non-Skirted PCR Plate, Tear-A-Way™ plates can be quickly and easily divided along the perforations between the rows
The correct number of wells can be separated off for each experiment, saving time and costs
The plate is available perforated vertically, tearing into 8-well strips (Tear-A-Way™ 96/8)

All of our PCR plates are molded from virgin polypropylene under ISO-certified cleanroom conditions in our UK-based production facility, and as such comply with the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar^® range
This plate is perforated under the same cleanroom conditions post-manufacture so it can be separated into part plates or individual strips of tubes
The Tear-A-Way™ plate maintains all benefits of the 96 Well Non-Skirted PCR Plate, but adds extra flexibility

Key Features

Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen

Frame

Non-skirted plates: universal cycler and sequencer compatibility
Alphanumeric grid reference on all strips: no sample identification errors
Plate is perforated to enable accurate tearing into 8-well strips: no tricky cutting of plates with scissors, risking perforated wells, damaging sealing rings, and contamination

Use

Allows for the most flexible and efficient use of a PCR plate: no need to run half-empty plates, so reducing costs
Snaps into strips for lower throughput: cost effective

Options

The Tear-A-Way™ 96/8 8-well version is easily divided into 24 and 48-well plates to fit a 24 or 48-well thermal cycler block
Sealable with 4titude PCR cap strips, adhesive seals and heat seals
