The use of real-time PCR (qPCR) is becoming increasingly widespread. The line of white PCR products by BRAND offers significantly better results in this application than transparent tubes or plates. The different products in this line are uniformly colored with TiO2 (titanium dioxide), so that in combination with the smooth surfaces, the optimum reflection of the fluorescence signal is provided.
The ultra thin-walled PCR plate design facilitates constant, rapid and precise heat transfer. The smooth vessel interior minimizes the binding of enzymes and nucleic acid to the walls. The rim of the wells are designed to protect against cross-contamination, allowing a reliable seal with the sealing mats tailored to the plates. With alphanumeric code and cut corner for easy orientation.

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.

BIO-CERT^® PCR-Quality. The thin walls allow fast transmission of the temperature specified by the cycler, thus reducing cycle times. The stable design of the plates makes them ideal for automation, as they can be gripped by robot systems without twisting. To minimize evaporation with small sample volumes up to 2 µl, the plates can be sealed with appropriate sealing films.
