6 个常见问题解答

Plate warping is causing problems with the robot in my automated processes. How can I solve this?

We recommend Thermo Scientific Armadillo PCR plates which are designed for robotic handling with high rigidity and resistance. Combining the rigidity of a polycarbonate frame with thin walled polypropylene wells, the Armadillo plates provide superior thermal cycling performance under all conditions without warping.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics endotoxin-free?

They are not certified endotoxin-free. However, their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics sterile?

Thermo Scientific Abgene plastics are not typically sterilized as their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA. In contrast, during typical non-clean room production, plastics are exposed to many contaminants including dust, bacterial cells, and DNA. The plastics are then sterilized to kill bacteria and inactivate RNases and DNases, but sterilization does not remove dust or DNA contamination. The dust particles left behind can inhibit PCR, and the damaged DNA fragments can still act as templates, leading to non-specific amplification.

Do you have a PCR plate suitable for use on Fast machines?

AB-1900 has been specially designed with a low profile and thin walls to give optimum efficiency on the Fast Block machines.

Do I need to use Fast plastics to run a Fast qPCR reaction?

Specialized Fast PCR plates are not required if you are using a standard qPCR machine with a fast protocol. However, Fast Block PCR Plates (AB-1900) can be purchased which are compatible with the thermal blocks on fast qPCR thermal cyclers.

What 96-well plates do you recommend for -80 degrees C storage?

Both polypropylene and polystyrene plates can be used to store samples at -80 degrees C and depends on the downstream application. Please note that the sealing method selected is critical for storing at these temperatures and heat sealing is recommended.
