Thermo Scientific™ Piko™ PCR Plates are modular, ultra-thin wall PCR plates for Piko Thermal Cyclers.

Piko PCR Plates are also flexible alternatives for conventional microplates. Four plates, each the size of a microscope slide, can be reversibly snapped into a rigid frame, producing the equivalent of a standard 96- or 384-well microplate. This format allows multiple sample sources to be combined into a single PCR run, or subjected to different post-PCR processing.
  • Wall thickness half that of conventional thin-walled tubes
  • Flexible format saves cost and reduces waste
  • Compatible with standard multi-channel pipettes and liquid handlers
  • Well spacing and footprint correspond to industry (ANSI) dimensions
  • Available in clear and white

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics endotoxin-free?

They are not certified endotoxin-free. However, their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics sterile?

Thermo Scientific Abgene plastics are not typically sterilized as their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA. In contrast, during typical non-clean room production, plastics are exposed to many contaminants including dust, bacterial cells, and DNA. The plastics are then sterilized to kill bacteria and inactivate RNases and DNases, but sterilization does not remove dust or DNA contamination. The dust particles left behind can inhibit PCR, and the damaged DNA fragments can still act as templates, leading to non-specific amplification.

Are ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels compatible with real-time experiments?

Yes. All of the UTW plastics we provide are well suited for qPCR reactions.

Will ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels automatically speed up reactions on my conventional thermal cycler?

To realize the time savings of the UTW plastics on conventional thermal cyclers, optimization of the protocol is required. This typically involves reducing hold times and changing the actual hold temperatures.

Are ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels prone to break more often because of their thinner walls?

When used as instructed, these vessels are remarkably robust and can handle typical laboratory conditions, without fracturing or resulting in loss of volume. It is recommended that, when applying caps, a proper tray be used to protect the bottom of the tubes from excessive force that is typically used.
