Overview

• Tear-A-Way™ plates allow for the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective use of a PCR plate
• Avoid the costly use of half-empty plates or the fiddly separation of plates with scissors
• Scissors are widely used by everyone in the lab for cutting diverse materials, so are typically highly contaminated with substances including bacteria and DNA
• Cutting plates with scissors should be avoided as it can perforate wells and damage sealing rings, risking evaporation and sample contamination
• Based on our 96 Well Non-Skirted PCR Plate, Tear-A-Way™ plates can be quickly and easily divided along the perforations between the rows
• The correct number of wells can be separated off for each experiment, saving time and costs
• The plate is available perforated either vertically, tearing into 8-well strips (Tear-A-Way™ 96/8), or horizontally, tearing into 12-well strips (Tear-A-Way™ 96/12)
• The new 12-strip Tear-A-Way™ 96/12 plates allow you to make full use of your gradient PCR instruments
• The temperature gradient is typically created along the horizontal direction of the block, thus 12-well strips or sections are ideal
• All of our PCR plates are moulded from virgin polypropylene under ISO-certified cleanroom conditions in our UK-based production facility, and as such comply with the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar® range
• This plate is perforated under the same cleanroom conditions post-manufacture so it can be separated into part plates or individual strips of tubes
• The Tear-A-Way™ plate maintains all benefits of the 96 Well Non-Skirted PCR Plate, but adds extra flexibility
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
