2-Component PCR Plates
FrameStar® 2-component technology reduces evaporation from PCR plates, improving your results and allowing you to reduce the volume of expensive reagents to save you money. FrameStar® plates combine the advantages of ultra-thin walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results, with a rigid polycarbonate frame to increase the thermal stability of the plate during the PCR process. What results is a plate that not only provides you with highly accurate results, but also allows you to use less reagent in the process, as the polycarbonate frame does not warp and expand during rapid temperature change. This means the integrity of the seal is not compromised, preventing sample evaporation.
This ABI® Style PCR plate offers the benefits of our 2-component design to ABI® standard block users. This design combines the advantages of ultra-thin wall polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results with a rigid polycarbonate skirt and deck for the highest thermal stability.
Features:
- Ideal for use with ABI® thermal cyclers & sequencers.
- Recommended for low volume PCR.
- Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes.
- Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of frame.
- Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes.
- Ideal for use with robotic systems.

This semi-skirted low profile plate is recommended for use with ABI® Fast block thermal cyclers. The low profile wells of this plate are shorter than "standard" profile wells, which decrease the "dead space" between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample in the well. This eliminates condensation forming on the side wall of the tubes, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. This is especially recommended for reaction volumes below 20 µl.

Breakable PCR Plates
FrameStar® Break-A-Way and Break-2-Ways plates can be easily divided into smaller plate sections, ensuring no tubes are wasted. Break-A-Way and Break-2-Ways plates use the 2-component design of the FrameStar® and FrameStrip® range.

UltraVision™ Plates
UltraVision™ Plates consist of a frame and a special optically ultra-clear base which gives superior results by delivering low absorbance and high-transmission, together with low background signals. Due to the incredible optical clarity of the UV base, the UltraVision™ Plates deliver improved transmission of signals at low wavelengths when compared to standard optical films.
UltraVision™ Plate 384 and 96 Well
The main advantage of using UltraVision™ Plates is in the optically ultra-clear base of the plate, which gives superior results by delivering low absorbance and high transmission, together with low background signals. the ultra-clear base of the UltraVision™ Plate delivers improved transmission of signals at low wavelengths compared to standard optical films. It allows DNA measurements at 260/280 nm wavelengths in a medium or high throughput.
Features:
- Ultra-clear base improves transmission for low wavelengths.
- Peel-back film on the base for scratch free surface.
- Optimum signal-to-noise ratios.
- Alphanumeric grid reference.
- Low profile lid available.
- Suitable for adhesive and heat sealing.
- Free from DNase, RNase and human genomic DNA.
VariStrips™ & VariPlates™
Vari-Strips™ are low profile PCR tube strips that are moulded from virgin polypropylene under cleanroom conditions. They can be used either as a stand-alone product, or with the Vari-Plate™ frames for ease of handling. The Vari-Strips™ fit securely into the Vari-Plate™ frames to form a part or complete 96 well plate, and can easily be removed for the frame to be reused.
These Vari-Plate™ frames are moulded from rigid polycarbonate for use with our polypropylene Vari-Strips™. The Vari-Strips™ are inserted into the Vari-Plate™ frames to form a complete plate, part plate, or individual strip with an easy-to-handle frame. The frames themselves are re-useable; simply purchase more Vari-Strips™ to use. Vari-Plate™ frames can be purchased separately, or pre-loaded with Vari-Strips™.
Features:
- Rigid polycarbonate frames.
- Frames can be purchases on their own or pre-loaded with Vari-Strips™.
- Vari-Strips™ have ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes.
- Vari-Strips™ have a low profile 0.15 ml (150 µl) working volume.
- 0.2 ml (200 µl) maximum well volume when used with sealing options.
- Raised well rims prevent cross contamination and facilitate effective sealing for reduced evaporation.
- Vari-Strips™ are available with clear or white well tubes.
- Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes.
- Frames available barcoded.
8 Well PCR Tube Strips, with low profile 0.15 ml polypropylene wells - can be used on their own or with Vari-Plate™ frames. These low profile PCR tube strips are moulded from virgin polypropylene under cleanroom conditions. They are available in either clear polypropylene for standard PCR techniques, or in white polypropylene for use in fluorescent detection applications like qPCR, as they give the highest sensitivity and consistency as all the fluorescence signal is reflected back to the detector.
Features:
- Can be used as individual strips, or in a Vari-Plate™ frame for easier handling.
- Low profile 0.15 ml (150 µl) working volume.
- 0.2 ml (200 µl) maximum well volume when used with sealing options.
- Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes.
- Raised well rims prevent cross contamination and facilitate effective sealing for reduced evaporation.
- Vari-Strips™ available with clear well tubes or white well tubes.
- Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes.

Mimetix® scaffolds for 3D cell culture are highly porous and mimic the extracellular matrix, providing an ideal environment to support the growth of cells in 3D. They are created by electrospinning the medical grade polymer poly-L-lactide (PLLA) into fibres. The Mimetix® scaffold is highly consistent well-to-well with respect to fibre diameter and pore size, resulting in excellent reproducibility of cell-based assays.
Features:
- Can provide more realistic data.
- Could potentially reduce the risk of failure in expensive clinical trials.
