Well Color Effect on Signal Strength


White well:

  • Increases fluorescent signal for maximizing detection sensitivity
  • Prevents fluorescent interference from adjacent wells or a contaminated cycler

Clear well:

  • Transparent wells for easy sample handling
  • Low signal variability for consistent results

Black well:

  • Lower signal strength for FP (fluorescence polarization) and other assays where reflected light must be minimized

Sealer Effect on Signal Strength


Optical flat cap strips:

  • Vapor-tight sealing for tube strips or 96-well plates
  • Suitable for PCR volumes >5 µl

Microseal® 'B' adhesive seals, optically clear:

  • A convenient sealing film for 96- or 384-well plates
  • Higher optical transmission than optical caps
  • Suitable for PCR volumes >10 µl

Clear Chill-out™ liquid wax:

  • No heated lid or lid pressure is required for PCR
  • Higher optical transmission than optical caps
  • Solidified below 10°C to prevent spilling and aerosol formation
Full-Height vs. Low-Profile
Full-Height vs. Low-Profile

There are two common well heights for PCR tubes and plates:

  1. Full-height (around 20.7 mm) wells are “standard” and fit in most classical thermal cyclers and real-time PCR detection systems, such as Bio-Rad's iCycler, iQ series real-time PCR detection systems, and Applied Biosystems' regular PCR systems and DNA sequencers.
  2. Low-profile (around 15.5 mm) wells are the newer design that reduces the potential for condensate formation and offers advantages for light capture in fluorescence assays, low-volume reactions, and fast PCR. They have been recommended for newer instruments such as Bio-Rad's C1000/S1000 thermal cyclers, CFX96 real-time PCR detection system, and Applied Biosystems' Fast PCR systems.


Instruments with adjustable lids can usually use both full-height and low-profile wells. These instruments include Bio-Rad's 1000 series and DNA Engine series thermal cyclers.

Low-profile 0.2 ml thin-wall polypropylene PCR tube strips are recommended for reaction volumes of 5–125 µl (200 µl maximum). The lower overall height (15.48 mm) of low-profile 0.2 ml tube strips reduces the potential for condensate formation and offers advantages for fast PCR, low-volume reactions, and light capture in fluorescence assays such as real-time PCR. The low-profile V-well tubes can be supported in a 96-place PCR-tube rack and still provide the low clearance needed to fit in some microplate readers. Overall height, including flat optical caps and 96-place rack, is 18.3 mm. Low-profile 0.2 ml tubes can be centrifuged if supported in a 96-place rack, which is also useful for reaction setup and storage.

Low-profile tubes are available in strips of 8 and come in natural and opaque white (white tube strips are useful for optical assays in which increased signal is desired). The tube strips are without caps; use the strip cap tool for quick seating of cap strips on tubes.

Key Features

  • Tight sealing and convenient handling for multiple samples
