PCR Plates
PCR plates (96- or 384-well) enable high-throughput DNA amplification in thermal cyclers. Our range (e.g., Azenta/4titude) covers various formats (non-skirted, semi-skirted, fully skirted) and innovative technologies such as FrameStar® (two-component plates), which prevent warping at high temperatures and reduce evaporation. Do you need clear plates for standard PCR, white plates for qPCR, or are you looking for divisible plates (like strips) for flexible use? Find a plate compatible with your instrument (e.g., ABI, Roche, Bio-Rad) here.

List of products
PCR plates are designed for high-throughput screening (HTS) and automated workflows. They combine the ultra-thin walls of PCR strips with the standardized SBS format required for robotic stations and modern qPCR cyclers.
Compatibility and Skirting
- Non-Skirted: Flexible and suitable for manual low-throughput work.
- Semi-Skirted: Increased rigidity, the most common format for standard cyclers.
- Full-Skirted: Essential for robotic arms and automated handling systems.
FrameStar® Technology
FrameStar® plates from Azenta feature a two-component design: a rigid polycarbonate frame (stability) and PP wells (heat transfer). They prevent thermal warping at 95 °C, ensuring a perfect seal during heat sealing. For qPCR, white plates are recommended to maximize signal reflection.
