PCR

In case the microplates, PCR- and Deepwellplates need not only to be covered, but also securely sealed, self-adhesive sealing films are available. These film sheets can be easily applied on the plates and removed also without the use of expensive equipment. They are available in different versions and are especially well-suited for storage or cell- and tissue-culture.

Purity, stability, color and other features to facilitate laboratory work.

• Extremely thin-walled polypropylene wells guarantee an optimal temperature transfer
• Exceptionally stable and torsion-resistant polycarbonate frame
• Elevated well edges ensure effective sealing and reduce the risk of cross-contamination
• Batch-tested and certified free of DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR-inhibitors (PCR clean), Eppendorf twin.tec^® microbiology additionally free of bacterial DNA
• Two versions available: With edge (skirted) or half-skirted (semi-skirted)
• Autoclavable up to 121 °C
• Available with bar code (on request)

The PCR-Cooler acts as a thermochromic temperature self-indicator: pink or light-blue (depending on the model chosen) when temperature exceeds +7°C, violet or dark blue when ice-cold.
The new Eppendorf PCR-Cooler reliably maintains a sample temperature of 0°C* for over an hour, changing colour when the temperature exceeds +7°C. Better than an ice bath, PCR-Cooler is simple to handle, space-saving and contamination-free, making it the perfect preparation for PCR reactions. The temperature of single tubes is indicated by the colour of the respective individual apertures. Furthermore, samples are prevented from freezing by the specially developed cone contour.
Eppendorf PCR-Cooler: the cooling unit in the universal 96-well format for 0.2ml and 0.5ml PCR tubes, for tube strips, plates and for individual tubes. The Eppendorf PCR-Cooler is a compact, innovative solution for protecting, transporting and storing sensitive samples and obviously also ideal for safely stopping reactions.

Application note:
By changing colour from violet to pink or dark blue to light blue, the PCR-Cooler shows when the temperature has exceeded +7°C. The crucial factor for sample cooling is the well colour in the PCR-Cooler.

PCR-Cooler made of PP with lid made of PC. Ice-free cooling system for PCR preparation and storage of 0.2 and 0.5 ml PCR tubes and strips as well as 96 well plates in standard and low profile well shape. Maintains sample temperature of less than 5 °C for up to 3 hours (with lid off). Maintains the entire 96-well plate at a temperature of 0 °C for 1 hour. When the temperature ceiling of 6 °C has been exceeded, users are signaled by a contrasting color change of the cooler, or a single well.

• 2 colour options: Purple to pink or dark blue to light blue
• Ice-free cooling reduces the risk of contamination
• Fully sealed and sonic welded cooler keeps coolant contained
• Detachable lid serves also as a stand
• Lid is suitable for left and right handed users
• Ergonomic textured finger grips provide a secure hold, especially when using gloves
• Can be used for freezer storage down to -80 °C
• Alphanumeric identification
• 2 years warranty

BRAND has significantly expanded its product range of extra-thin-wall disposable products, which were specially developed to satisfy the demands of PCR applications.

Quality features

• Suitable for use in common thermocyclers
• PP, extra-thin uniform wall thicknesses to provide the optimal thermal transfer and short cycle times
• 96-well PCR plates with blue alphanumeric code and cut corner marking
• Highly clear flat covers optimally suited for qPCR
• DNase-, DNA- and RNase-free
• Autoclavable at 121°C (2 bar), acc. DIN EN 285
• qPCR: Products which are suitable for Real Time PCR (qPCR)

White PCR products offer significantly better results for qPCR, and are specifically recommended by many thermocycler manufacturers.
Strips of 8 or 12 connected PCR tubes (0.2 ml). Cap strips consisting of 8 or 12 domed caps (available separately) provide tight seal during all PCR cycles, thus protecting samples from cross-contamination. The tubes have a holding strap at one end, and the cover strips on each lid have a small lip on the side for careful, contamination-free opening. Consistent tube wall thickness allows rapid heat transfer along the entire exterior tube surface. Made of pure, virgin polypropylene, free from RNase-, DNase- and DNA. Autoclavable at 121 °C (2 bar), according to DIN EN 285.

Other colors on request.

The rack can be fitted into the box. Together, they create an ideal workstation for 0.2 ml PCR tubes, available in individual, 8-tube strip and 12 tube strip or 96-well plate formats. The box with transparent lid can be stacked to save space and is temperature resistant from -80 to +121°C. Assorted colours (red, yellow, purple, green, blue).

Ideal for sealing PCR plates.

• PCR clean: Certified free from human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitor
• PCR Film: Allows visual monitoring of samples
• PCR Foil: Easy to pierce, no sticking of the pipette tips (ideal for automated systems)
• Heat Sealing: Position the film or the foil with the adhesive edges on the plate. Seal the plate using the heat sealer
• Sealing mats are reusable and autoclavable
