Eppendorf twin.tec PCR plates are manufactured using “twin-shot technology” an innovative injection mold process that combines two of the best performing materials: virgin polypropylene for the wells and polycarbonate, an especially rigid material, forms the plate deck and skirt. Polycarbonate provides mechanical stability and it facilitates handling of plates. The enhanced stiffness offers improved plane parallelism in the plate deck before, during and after a PCR, and it ensures a more accurate seal. Plates also offer 20% reduction in wall thickness compared to standard thin-walled tubes. This provides a snug fit for the walls against the thermal blocks and it ensures virtually undisturbed heat transfer from the block to the sample. All commonly used sealing methods—cap strips, adhesive films and foils—can be applied to twin.tec PCR plates for heat sealing and ultimate protection against evaporation.
