Greiner Bio-One, a leading technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industry, will be showcasing its new 96 and 384 well PCR microplates for Real Time PCR at Biotechnica 2011. The polypropylene PCR microplates, which have a high proportion of white pigment, boost the fluorescence signals. This results in improved Real Time PCR sensitivity and makes the PCR microplates far superior to transparent plates.  

With its new white 96 and 384 well PCR microplates, Greiner Bio-One GmbH is expanding its range of high-quality PCR products. The plates are ideal for use in numerous Real Time PCR systems. Black alphanumeric well coding ensures fast identification of samples in the plate. The white wells boost the fluorescence signals significantly, while disruptive background fluorescence is also reduced considerably, leading to improved homogeneity for the replicas and to reproducible results.

The two microplates have a skirt and lateral notches for grippers, thereby enabling easy automation. The 96 well microplate can be sealed with suitable cap strips or adhesive films. Adhesive films are recommended for the 384 well PCR plate. The plates are free of detectable DNase, RNase, human DNA and free of detectable endotoxins. 

The resealable bags for packing the microplates allow dust- and contamination-free removal of small quantities.
