Optimized heat transfer – Our twin.tec® PCR plates , including 96-well and 384-well plates, have thin-walled polypropylene wells that help you achieve efficient and uniform heat transfer.

Mechanical stability – Each PCR plate is supported by a rigid polycarbonate frame, keeping your plates stable during handling and thermal cycling. This is particularly important for automated workflows.

Maximum sample recoveryEppendorf LoBind® PCR consumables reduce sample adsorption to plastic surfaces, helping to maximize recovery when working with low-concentration DNA or RNA samples.

Flexible formats and compatibility – From individual PCR tubes to PCR 96-well plates and 384-well formats, our PCR consumables are compatible with a wide range of thermocyclers and workflows.

Plate format and workflow requirements

When selecting a PCR plate, consider your throughput and workflow needs:

  • 96-well PCR plates – The standard format for most PCR and qPCR workflows, balancing throughput and ease of use.
  • 384-well PCR plates – Ideal for high-throughput screening and large-scale experiments.

The 96-well PCR plate remains the most widely used option for routine applications, offering compatibility with most instruments and workflows.
