The R-Frame Story
Looking for an eco-friendly solution without compromising quality? The R-Frame RECYCLED PCR Plate range is here to satisfy those requirements. Made from Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastics, the R-Frame provides the same precision, durability, and compatibility as traditional PCR plates—while significantly reducing plastic waste and your carbon footprint!
The frame is produced using a from 90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) polycarbonate, designed to provide a rigid structure for the reaction wells. The frame material remains dimensionally stable during thermal cycling, which facilitates reliable robotic handling, and ensures that the seal to each well is not compromised during thermal cycling, thus preventing sample evaporation. This is critical to your work. Yet with our sustainably-sourced PCR material, we are able to reduce the amount of plastic used to manufacture the plates by 90%. This is a significant reduction in the use of virgin plastic. Every little bit helps!
Your PCR protocols are important to your work, and you need to be sure that changing to our R-Frame RECYCLED plates does not compromise the results. PCR takes place in the reaction well. This is why we are using a time-proven medical-grade polypropylene to produce the 96 thin-walled reaction wells. This material is biocompatible and has an inert low-binding surface. Meaning you don’t have to worry about any problems with your PCR performance.
- Superior performance from our 2-component R-Frame® PCR plates
- The rigid frames are produced from sustainably-sourced PCR material, resulting in a reduction of virgin petroleum-derived plastic used to manufacture the plate by 90%
- Thin-walled wells made from 100% virgin medical grade low bind polypropylene
- Manufactured to the highest quality standards for your PCR and qPCR applications
- Our fully skirted low profile plate fits a wide range of cyclers and is fully automation compatible
- Roche-style semi-skirted low profile plate delivers improved performance for the LightCycler
- Universal style PCR plates feature a rigid semi-skirt design and standard height wells for compatibility with a wide range of instruments
- ABI style semi-skirted plates are designed for compatibility with most ABI thermal cyclers, from legacy designs to the most recent instruments
- Low profile low bind wells have maximum capacity of 225μl and a typical working volume of 5μl – 125μl
- Standard profile low bind wells have a maximum capacity of 330μl and a typical working volume of 25μl – 200μl
Our Quality
Arvensis has a rigorous quality program to ensure their plates adhere to all of their specifications and more importantly, meet your expectations. The quality team performs several visual inspections throughout the manufacturing process to ensure there are no defects. Arvensis also measures several critical areas for conformance to our dimensional requirements. Every plate undergoes a sensitive electronic well-integrity test to ensure there are no holes in the well. That means every single well of every plate has been checked for leaks before being packaged. Arvensis also performs a range of additional tests to check for plate and well integrity, and a PCR evaporation test to ensure our plates do not leak after heat-sealing. Finally, Arvensis performs a fluorometric detection assay to ensure there is no DNase or RNase contamination, and a quantitative PCR test to ensure their products are free from detectable human genomic DNA and free from PCR inhibitors.
All of our PCR plates are certified free from DNase, RNase, nucleases and human gDNA.
Every little bit helps
Together we can make a difference!
