Hard-Shell PCR Plate Compatibility Chart

Hard-Shell^® PCR Plate Compatibility Chart

Hard-Shell PCR plates represent an innovative concept in PCR plate design. The skirt and deck are molded from a rigid thermostable polymer. This hard shell prevents the distortion and shrinkage that may occur when regular single-component polypropylene PCR plates are exposed to the high temperatures of thermal cycling or heat sealing. Bio-Rad offers a variety of Hard-Shell 96-well and 384-well PCR plates.
