Two-component microplate enhances qPCR accuracy
Corrosion-resistant HDPE fume hood Designed for demanding acid digestion and elemental analysis workflows, the UniFlow®
HDPE fume hood
from Hemco features a fully welded high-density polyethylene interior that resists corrosion from strong acids. The seamless one-piece fume chamber includes the walls, ceiling, worksurface, and rear drain trough, while the exterior is made from chemical-resistant composite resin.
Models are available in 48”, 60”, 72”, and 96” widths, with optional built-in wash-down system and rear drainage. A counterbalanced vertical sash is supplied in either polycarbonate for use with hydrofluoric acid, or tempered glass for other applications. Standard features include a vapor-proof LED light, pre- wired switch, and remote-control water fixture with integrated spray nozzles when the wash-down option is included.
A wide selection of compatible ventilation systems, support cabinetry, and factory-installed accessories are available to configure the unit to specific lab needs.

feature a unique two-component design that reduces thermal expansion and sample evaporation, improving PCR and qPCR consistency.
Traditional PCR plates are often made entirely of polypropylene due to its chemical inertness and thin walls, which allow rapid temperature transfer. However, polypropylene plates can suffer from thermal expansion and evaporation, which may compromise applications such as qPCR and Next Generation Sequencing.
FrameStar PCR plates overcome these challenges with a dual-material approach: polypropylene tubes are integrated into a rigid polycarbonate frame. This design stabilises the plate during thermal cycling, minimising distortion and improving seal integrity, which translates into more reliable quantifi cation and consistent results.
A recent study highlights the advantages of the two-component design, showing a signifi cant reduction in evaporation-related errors in qPCR. The reduced risk of sample loss also enables smaller reaction volumes, helping labs save on costly reagents without sacrifi cing data quality.
FrameStar plates are available in both 96- and 384-well formats. The 384-well plates are optimized for low-volume PCR, while the 96- well options include low and standard profi les with a range of skirt types - non-skirted, semi- skirted, or fully skirted - to suit different thermal cycler requirements. Multiple well-frame colour combinations are also offered for easy sample identifi cation.
