0.1 mL 96-Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate, FAST®-Type

0.1 mL 96-Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate, FAST®-Type for Consistent PCR and qPCR Workflows

The Puretest 0.1 mL 96-well semi-skirted FAST®-type PCR plate is designed for low-profile rapid-cycling blocks. The semi skirt balances frame rigidity with accessible well sides for manual and automated handling.

The 8 × 12 well array uses low-profile thin-wall tubes connected to a semi skirt. This construction is lighter than a full-skirt frame but more rigid than a non-skirted plate, making it useful for routine handling and selected automated workflows.

Product Highlights

• 0.1 mL fast-cycling profile: Low well mass and reduced headspace support rapid temperature changes.
• Semi-skirted frame: Provides handling rigidity while retaining side access.
• High-purity polypropylene wells: Support rapid thermal transfer and low nonspecific binding.
• Uniform thin-wall molding: Promotes consistent heating and cooling from well to well.
• Raised sealing rims: Help films or heat seals close each reaction independently.
• Alphanumeric indexing: Supports plate maps, sample identification and orientation.
• Clear and white options: Select optical configuration according to the PCR or qPCR detection method.
• Automation-oriented supply: Technical drawings, samples, barcode and private-label options are available.

Plate Structure and Functional Design

The 8 × 12 well array uses low-profile thin-wall tubes connected to a semi skirt. This construction is lighter than a full-skirt frame but more rigid than a non-skirted plate, making it useful for routine handling and selected automated workflows.

Keep reaction volumes below the nominal well capacity and apply uniform sealing pressure. Confirm that the semi skirt sits flat without rocking in the instrument carrier.

Technical Specifications

Dimensions, working volumes and compatibility are nominal unless stated in the current Puretest drawing. Validate the exact instrument, seal and thermal protocol before routine use.

Instrument Compatibility and Selection Guide

Designed around selected 0.1 mL fast-cycling block geometries. FAST® is a compatibility-style reference and does not guarantee fit across every instrument generation. Verify block depth, skirt clearance, corner cut and heated lid.

• Confirm the number of wells, block height, skirt style, corner cut and notch position.
• For qPCR, confirm whether clear or white wells and an optical seal are required.
• For automation, validate gripper access, deck carrier, barcode area and plate rigidity.
• Request a physical sample before releasing a new plate into a validated assay.

Application Guide

Sealing, Thermal Cycling and Handling

• Use an optical adhesive film, heat seal or cap solution compatible with the plate and detection method.
• Apply uniform sealing pressure and confirm that every well rim is fully closed before cycling.
• Centrifuge briefly when the protocol requires liquid collection at the well bottom, using a supported carrier.
• Keep wells and sealing rims free from powder, oil and fingerprints.
• Nominal well capacity is not the recommended reaction volume; preserve headspace and follow the assay protocol.

Material, Cleanliness and Quality Documentation

Puretest laboratory consumables are molded from high-purity polypropylene selected for chemical resistance, low biomolecule binding and dependable dimensional consistency. Available cleanliness, sterile and packaging configurations must be matched to the quoted catalog number.

If your workflow requires a Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Conformance, irradiation record, DNase/RNase status, pyrogen limit, human-DNA limit, dimensional report or batch traceability, state the requirement before ordering. Puretest will confirm which documents apply to the selected configuration rather than treating every supply option as identical.

Ordering Information, Packaging and OEM Support

Puretest supports evaluation samples, current technical drawings, bulk and individually protected packaging, sterile and non-sterile options, customer catalog numbers, private labels, barcodes and distributor carton programs. MOQ, inner-pack quantity, case quantity, lead time, carton dimensions and shipping method are confirmed with the final specification.

Choose the Right PCR Plate Format

Instrument names describe compatibility style only. Confirm the block format, skirt, corner cut, notch position, optical requirement and current drawing before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a FAST®-type plate?

It uses a low-profile 0.1 mL geometry associated with rapid-cycling blocks. Instrument-specific dimensions must still be checked.

Why choose a semi skirt?

It adds rigidity and handling surfaces without enclosing the entire plate perimeter.

Can I use it for qPCR?

Yes when the well color, seal and instrument optics are compatible.

Does it fit standard 0.2 mL blocks?

Not necessarily. Low-profile 0.1 mL plates and 0.2 mL plates differ in height and block geometry.

Can I request a sample?

Yes. Provide the exact instrument model and reaction volume.
