Why choose Eppendorf PCR consumables?
Whether you're performing basic routine assays or high-throughput, high-sensitivity PCR workflows, you need consumables you can rely on. Our PCR consumables have several features that help you elevate your PCRs:
Purity and quality you can trust – All our PCR plates are available in PCR clean purity grade. They are certified free from DNA, DNase, RNase, and PCR inhibitors—helping you reduce contamination risk. For highly sensitive and forensic applications, choose our PCR consumables that are available in forensic DNA grade, meeting ISO 18385 requirements.

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 recovery – Eppendorf 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.
Sustainable alternatives – Eppendorf offers twin.tec® Trace PCR Plates BioBased , available as 96-well PCR plates and 384-well formats. These plates are manufactured using a mass balance approach with a high proportion of biobased polymers. This helps reduce your consumable-related carbon footprint, while maintaining high PCR performance.

twin.tec® PCR plates: standard, Trace, and LoBind® options
Eppendorf twin.tec® PCR plates are the foundation of many PCR workflows. Several types of twin.tec® PCR plates are available, and the type you should choose will depend on your intended applications.
Eppendorf twin.tec® PCR Plates – A reliable, high-quality PCR plate for routine applications, available in 96-well PCR plate and in 384-well formats. Designed for consistent thermal performance and broad compatibility with thermocyclers.
Eppendorf twin.tec® Trace PCR Plates – Laser-engraved lot numbers, expiration dates and a pipetting grid make traceability simple and reliable. Ideal for regulated environments or workflows requiring enhanced sample tracking.
Eppendorf twin.tec® PCR Plates LoBind® – Reduce sample adsorption to the plastic surface, improving DNA and RNA recovery. Particularly beneficial when working with low-concentration samples in a PCR plate.
Eppendorf twin.tec® Trace PCR Plates BioBased – Manufactured using a mass balance approach with biobased polymers. These PCR plates help reduce your consumable-related carbon footprint while maintaining high performance. Additionally, laser-engraved lot numbers, expiration dates and a pipetting grid make traceability simple and reliable.
PCR tubes and tube strips
For lower-throughput workflows or flexible sample handling, PCR tubes and tube strips are a practical alternative to PCR plates.
Eppendorf PCR Tubes – Individual tubes designed for reliable thermal performance and compatibility with most thermocyclers.
Eppendorf Fast PCR Tube Strips – Designed for efficient heat transfer and rapid cycling, making them well-suited for fast PCR protocols.
Tube strips let you handle multiple samples while keeping flexibility—unlike a fixed 96-well plate.
Sealing solutions – films, foils, and cap strips
During thermal cycling, you need effective sealing to protect your samples from evaporation and contamination. Therefore, choosing the right sealing solution for your PCR consumables is key to getting optimal results.
PCR Films and Foils – Provide secure, uniform sealing for PCR plates, including PCR 96-well plates. Different options are suited for different applications (e.g. pierceable or optically clear).
PCR Cap Strips – Designed for PCR tubes and strips, offering a tight seal and easy handling.
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.
