Product description

The Eppendorf twin.tec PCR Plate is a single-use polycarbonate/polypropylene plate
allowing trained specialists to perform PCR and cycle sequencing experiments. It is used
in training, routine and research laboratories in the bioscientific, industrial and chemical
fields. Evaporation is prevented with the aid of a variety of sealing systems.

The Eppendorf twin.tec

real-time PCR Plates differ from Eppendorf twin.tec PCR Plates by

their white wells. They are intended for real-time PCR.

The Eppendorf twin.tec

microbiology PCR Plates have additional sterility features. Besides

the quality criterion PCR clean, these plates are tested to be free of bacterial DNA, ATP
and pyrogen. Gassing with ethylen oxide is used as sterilization method.
