First segmented PCR plate

Eppendorf AG offers the first two-component PCR plate designed to be easily divisible, saving material and money when running smaller-scale experiments. These twin.tec unskirted 96- well plates fit almost all available PCR instruments and can be snapped into four separate 24-well segments and the empty
wells saved for future use. According to Dr Kay Körner, senior product manager PCR at Eppendorf AG, “Most of the time our customers do not fill up an entire 96-well PCR plate, and leaving the remaining wells empty is a waste of material and money. However, cutting PCR plates into pieces with scissors seemed to us an inappropriate solution, so we invented the first divisible two-component PCR plate. These new 96-well twin.tec plates can simply be
snapped into pre-defined segments so that 24, 48 or 72 wells can be used as required – reducing waste and bringing significant cost savings.”
